RFK Jr., who has endorsed Trump for president, must stay on the ballot in two swing states
Election officials in Michigan and Wisconsin, two crucial battleground states, have denied Kennedy's request to remove himself from their presidential ballots, citing state laws.
You're viewing a single thread.
Days after Kennedy suspended his campaign, Kentucky's secretary of state said he had filed on Monday to run for president in the state and will appear on the ballot in November.
WTF is with this guy? Drops out of the race ("suspends campaign") on 8/23, immediately endorses Trump, tries to get off the ballot only in swing states, and then on 8/26 applies to be on the ballot in Kentucky?
Essentially ensuring any RFK voter is taken from biden and not Trump
RFK's whole campaign has been paid for by Trump mega donors, to do as you stated, pull votes from Biden.
The only Only problem is, like the guy at the top of the ticket, they are just realizing they aren't running against Joe anymore and waited too long to pull RFK since he will not pull anything from Harris/Walz.
I don't think Biden is going to get any votes at all
Hahaha
They're trying to put him on strategic ballots where he can hurt the Democrats. It's pure electioneering and imo blatant fraud because he's dropped out and publicly said he wants to be on or off ballots strategically.
By getting off ballot in swing states only, he can show how popular he his to his campaign fund donors without risk of being a spoiler for the election.
And if Drumpf were to win, then a surprisingly good showing here might help getting support for a future campaign - say 2028.
It's outrageous and disgusting.
In a first past the post election system, it is a great strategy. First past the post is outrageous and disgusting.
If they get 5pct of the vote, they become a real political party and get government money. So getting as many votes as possible to see if they can reach the 5pct and continue the grift.
It's not even that. If it was that he'd be staying on every ballot he could cling to. This is an attempt to influence our elections in an unfair manner.
Yeah sure.. only withdrawing in the critical swing states ... It's a masterclass in election fuckery. So the balancing act is staying in on as many ballots as possible.. while not taking key votes from trump.
I can only hope it bites the republicans in the ass somehow.
