Supreme Court Keeps RFK Jr. On Ballots

The Facts

• The US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled former independent candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must remain on the ballot in Wisconsin and Michigan, rejecting his claim that the deadline to withdraw is unconstitutional.

• Kennedy, who dropped his presidential bid in August before endorsing Republican former Pres. Donald Trump, argued his First Amendment rights were being violated because leaving him on the ballot wrongly suggested he still wanted to run for president.

• Michigan and Wisconsin officials argued the electoral process would be thrown into disarray if they had to remove Kennedy because early voting has already begun.
