SUMMARY
The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name will remain on the presidential ballot despite his efforts to withdraw after endorsing former President Donald Trump. Kennedy, who was nominated by the Natural Law Party in the state, sought to remove his name from ballots to avoid drawing votes away from Trump. However, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson rejected his request based on a state law that prevents withdrawal by candidates nominated by minor parties. The court ruled that Kennedy failed to present any legal grounds to support his claim, reversing an appeals court decision in his favor. Kennedy’s attorney argued this ruling undermines election integrity by leaving an inactive candidate on the ballot.
