RFK, Jr., To Remain On Ballot In Wisconsin, Michigan




After dropping out of the Presidential race following a collapse in his poll numbers, brain wormed crank RFK, Jr., endorsed the Malignant Loser, betraying his family's legacy and his own professed beliefs. He also said that to avoid being a "spoiler" he'd remove his name from the ballot in battleground states to help the Malignant Loser. However, state officials in Wisconsin and Michigan have ruled that his name will remain on the ballot in these two swing states. From NBC News:

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be unable to remove himself from the ballots in the key swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin, election officials confirmed Tuesday, days after he ended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump. [snip]

In his speech Friday dropping out of the race and backing Trump, Kennedy said he would work to remove his name from ballots in states where he could play a spoiler role.

'In about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I'm going to remove my name, and I've already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me,' Kennedy said.

'Our polling consistently showed by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues,' he added." (our emphasis)

The "existential issues" that he disagrees with the Dems about are that they didn't offer him a job in the next Administration. The Malignant Loser's "drill baby drill" anti-environmentalism, his opposition to reproductive freedom, his "Project 2025" blueprint? No biggie for the cynical, opportunistic RFK, Jr., whose principles are obviously temporary and negotiable.

After his  poll numbers cratered, RFK, Jr., had few supporters left who hadn't made a choice among the Malignant Loser, V.P. Harris, or staying home. But this is a good development to ensure those few who might have swung to the Malignant Loser can still vote for the other lunatic in the race:  RFK, Jr.
