Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s former 2024 presidential running mate, argued it is “ironic” how several swing states are now working to keep Kennedy on their voting ballots, even though he has already suspended his campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump.
While several states originally pushed back against Kennedy being allowed on the ballot, swing states, such as Michigan and Wisconsin, that will be hotly contested in the 2024 election are keeping Kennedy on their ballots this November, which could take away votes from both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Shanahan said it is still possible for Kennedy to withdraw his name from these states. However, she rebuked the states for working to keep his name on their ballots, which will matter greatly in the Electoral College.
