Nevada election officials have verified enough signatures for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign to appear on the state’s ballot, marking a significant shift in the U.S. election landscape. Kennedy, with his famous name and loyal base, poses a threat to both major parties and could potentially garner more support than any independent candidate in decades. Despite not qualifying for a CNN debate, Kennedy held his own event where he responded to questions posed to President Biden and former President Trump in real time.
However, there may still be legal challenges ahead for Kennedy. State and national Democrats have filed a lawsuit questioning his standing on the Nevada ballot due to his political affiliations in other states. Kennedy’s campaign faced initial confusion over the requirement to list a running mate on the petition, but ultimately gathered enough signatures with Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential pick.
With over 22,000 verified signatures on the new petition, well exceeding the required number, Kennedy’s presence on the Nevada ballot is all but confirmed. This development has the potential to shake up the traditional Republican-Democrat dominance in U.S. elections and could prove to be a game-changer in the upcoming election cycle. Stay tuned for further updates as Kennedy’s campaign gains momentum in a crucial battleground state.
