Kennedy announced his suspension from the presidential race to assist Trump, citing polling that indicated his presence on ballots could inadvertently favor the Democrats.
Kennedy's withdrawal request faced obstacles, as states like Michigan and Wisconsin ruled that his name remains on the ballot due to state laws governing minor party candidates.
Cheri Hardmon of Michigan's secretary of state explained that it was not possible for Kennedy to withdraw as he had already been nominated by the Natural Law Party.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission emphasized their decision to deny Kennedy's removal was based on the stipulation that candidates cannot decline nomination once they are on the ballot.
