Overview

• The Supreme Court rejected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s request to be reinstated on New York's presidential ballot, upholding a lower court's decision.
• Kennedy suspended his campaign in August and endorsed Donald Trump, yet continues to seek ballot removals in multiple states.
• In Wisconsin, the Supreme Court ruled that Kennedy's name will remain on the ballot, citing state law that only allows removal if a candidate dies.
• Kennedy's campaign argued that New York's residency requirement for ballot placement violated constitutional rights, but the court disagreed.
• The presence of Kennedy on ballots is seen as potentially influential in battleground states, where elections have historically been closely contested.
