Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for California's presidential election ballot under the American Independent Party, aiming to collect 54 electoral votes. He declined running in the Democratic primary and chose Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential running mate.
Kennedy criticized George Wallace, the historical AIP candidate, for opposing desegregation and championing states' rights, views antithetical to his father's beliefs. He views his candidacy as a symbol of 'America's homecoming'.
The American Independent Party's history dates back to 1968 when it supported George Wallace. It has caused confusion for voters, with many registering in error. Kennedy sees it as a platform for democratic energy and vigor.
