The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s request to appear on New York's presidential ballot.
Kennedy, who suspended his independent campaign for president in August and endorsed Donald Trump, had been seeking to remove his name from ballots in key battleground states. Despite his withdrawal, Kennedy argued for the right to remain on the ballot in New York. The court's decision effectively ends his efforts to appear in the state’s general election.
This ruling highlights the challenges faced by minor party candidates in navigating ballot access laws.

Honestly, RFK Jr. has been all over the place with his campaign, so him not getting on the ballot in New York isn’t surprising. Plus, his endorsement of Trump really alienated a lot of his earlier supporters. I’m more concerned about making sure we focus on candidates who have a clear vision for progressive change.
This just shows how the two-party system is rigged to keep independent voices off the ballot and limit our choices.
