Summary
On Friday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump. Kennedy plans to remove his name from the ballot in ten battleground states but remain an option in safe Republican and Democrat states to give his supporters in noncompetitive states the option to vote for him without playing spoiler. Kennedy has already taken action to remove his name from the ballot in Arizona and Pennsylvania, but election officials in Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin said it is too late for him to take his name off the ballot.
