Flip-Flop: Keeping Kennedy ON the Ballot
[Business Insider] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race While announcing the suspension of his long-shot presidential campaign, Kennedy said he was specifically removing his name from the ballot in about 10 swing states. "Our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues," Kennedy said at a news conference before endorsing Trump. But at least three states have already disrupted Kennedy's plan. Michigan, a key battleground state, said it was too late for Kennedy to withdraw. Wisconsin, another crucial swing state, also denied Kennedy's request to be removed from the ballot. Colorado, notably less competitive for Trump than Michigan or Wisconsin, also denied Kennedy removal from the ballot. However, Kennedy succeeded in getting himself booted from the ballot in some important swing states, including Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. He's also been removed from Florida, Ohio, and Texas ballots. Posted by: Bobby 2024-08-28 |
