Wisconsin Supreme Court says RFK Jr.'s name will remain on ballot
In some states, RFK Jr. wants to be on the ballot.
In other states, he wants off the ballot.
At least in Wisconsin, we know if people are going to be able to vote for RFK Jr. despite his decision to drop out of the presidential race.
Wisconsin's Supreme Court has ruled that RFK Jr. will REMAIN on the swing state's ballot this November for the presidential election.
In key battleground states where the contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is close, RFK Jr. wants to be off the ballot because he hopes that people would cast their vote for Donald Trump instead.
When RFK Jr. suspended his campaign in August 2024, he was very clear that he thought Trump should be the next President of the United States of America.
Kennedy filed a lawsuit in Wisconsin on Sept. 3, asking to be removed from the ballot by the court. He argued that "third-party candidates are discriminated against because state law treats them differently than Republicans and Democrats running for president."
According to Kennedy, "Republicans and Democrats have until 5 p.m. on the first Tuesday in September before an election to certify their presidential nominee but that independent candidates like himself can only withdraw before an Aug. 6 deadline for submitting nomination papers."
What ultimately ends up happening with Kennedy could have a huge impact on the election.
In 2016, Jill Stein of the Green Party collected 31,000 votes in Wisconsin. Trump only won the state by 23,000 votes.
If all of the people who would have voted for Stein ended up voting for Hillary Clinton, the 2016 election might have gone very differently!
RFK Jr. is trying to make sure he doesn't steal any votes from Trump in Wisconsin.
As of now, it doesn't look like he's going to be successful.
