Supreme Court Rejects RFK Jr.’s Request to Remove Name from Ballot in Swing States

HeadlineOct 31, 2024

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a bid by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remove his name from ballots in the swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin. The former presidential candidate backed Trump after abandoning his own campaign. RFK Jr. told supporters on a call this week that Donald Trump had promised him “control” of the Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, including the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. But Trump’s campaign said confirming those claims would be “premature” despite Trump announcing at his Madison Square Garden rally last weekend he would let RFK Jr. “go wild on health” if he is reelected. Kennedy is a prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist.
