WASHINGTON (Michigan News Source) – The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an emergency appeal to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential ballot in Michigan and Wisconsin, two battleground states.

Kennedy has petitioned courts numerous times to have his name removed from Michigan’s ballot after suspending his campaign in August and throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump. Kennedy accepted the nomination from the Natural Law Party in the spring. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson claimed Michigan law requires that minor party candidate names stay on the ballot.
