RFK Jr. must stay on Michigan ballot, judge rules: ‘Elections are not just games’

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on Michigan’s general election ballot after a judge in the state sided with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who said it was too late under state law for his name to be removed.

Kennedy suspended his campaign last month and endorsed former President Donald Trump. Since then, he has tried to take his name off the ballot in swing states so as not to take away votes from the Republican nominee, but he has urged voters in solidly blue and red states to still vote for him.
