Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign has been verified to appear on the Nevada ballot, bringing his independent presidential bid to a crucial battleground state. With a famous name and loyal base, Kennedy has the potential to shake up the dominance of Republican and Democratic parties, potentially shifting the outcome of the election. Although he did not qualify for a major debate, he held a separate event and has faced legal challenges regarding his affiliation with political parties in other states. Kennedy’s campaign filed a lawsuit against the Nevada Secretary of State’s office over the state’s requirement for independent candidates to list a running mate, but ultimately received approval after gathering over 22,000 verified signatures. Kennedy chose California lawyer and philanthropist Nicole Shanahan as his running mate, surpassing the 10,000 signature requirement by a large margin. State and county election officials confirmed the signatures, solidifying Kennedy’s spot on the Nevada ballot and further highlighting the potential impact of his independent campaign on the upcoming election.
