RFK Jr., who has been associated with Donald Trump’s electoral campaign for several weeks under the promise of holding an important position in his administration, was trying to have his name removed from the ballot in key states so as not to harm Trump’s chances of being elected.

His request was finally rejected by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court did indeed reject RFK Jr.’s request to be removed from the ballot in two key states, which was a desperate attempt on his part through an emergency appeal.

The states of Michigan and Wisconsin asserted that it would be impossible to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name at this stage of the election, given that early voting is already underway, just days before the election.

Indeed, at the time of this latest attempt to plead his case, 1.5 million people in Michigan had already returned their absentee ballots, while in Wisconsin, over 858,000 people had also returned their ballots.

Kennedy wanted the Supreme Court to accept that his presence on the ballot violated his First Amendment rights by falsely implying that he still wished to be elected president.

However, the Court ultimately rejected his arguments.
