Wisconsin Supreme Court to Rule on RFK Jr.'s Ballot Removal
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seeks removal from presidential ballots in key states after endorsing Trump, with Wisconsin and Michigan courts at the center of the dispute.
- The Wisconsin Supreme Court will decide whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name should remain on the state's presidential ballot after he suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.
- Kennedy has filed lawsuits to remove his name from ballots in battleground states, arguing his presence could draw votes away from Trump.
- In Michigan, Kennedy's request to be removed from the ballot was denied by both state and federal courts, leading him to appeal to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
- Wisconsin's election laws state that candidates cannot withdraw from the ballot once their nomination papers are filed, unless they die.
- The Wisconsin Elections Commission and state courts are expediting the case due to the approaching election and the fact that absentee ballots have already been mailed.
