Despite suspending his campaign, RFK Jr. will remain on the ballot for Michigan’s 2024 presidential election.
In a Phoenix press conference last Friday, Robert Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed President Trump.
RFK Jr. will remain on the ballot in states where his candidacy is likely to negatively impact Kamala Harris, while he will withdraw from ballots in states where his presence could harm Donald Trump.
“In about 10 battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name. And I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me,” RFK Jr. said
A spokesperson for Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, informed Axios that RFK Jr. is not permitted to withdraw his name from the ballot.
“Minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election,” said Jocelyn Benson’s office.
Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s Secretary of State, also worked to keep the far-left candidate Cornel West off the Michigan ballot.
RFK Jr. is the nominee for the Natural Law Party in the state of Michigan.
“The Natural Law Party held their convention to select electors for [RFK Jr.]. They cannot meet at this point to select new electors since it’s past the primary,” Jocelyn Benson’s spox said.
RFK Jr.’s supporters are reportedly shifting their votes to President Trump, which is why Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State is keeping Kennedy on the ballot in this key battleground state.
