Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remain on Colorado’s ballot after suspending campaign and endorsing Trump

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on Colorado's general election ballot after he suspended his campaign and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump, Kennedy's campaign told Colorado election officials Tuesday. “We are not withdrawing in Colorado," Kennedy's campaign told the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, according to a spokesman. The message added that Kennedy "has encouraged all of his supporters to vote for him in CO!" The former Democrat appeared Friday alongside Trump in Phoenix, where Kennedy announced he was backing the former president and would withdraw from the ballot in several states where his candidacy could swing the outcome. The Associated Press reported that it was already too late, how...

RFK, Jr., says, Dems are party of ‘censorship and corruption’, before he endorses Trump

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is the son of Bobby Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, this week watched his former political party nominate a President without a single primary vote or without publishing her policy. He had attempted to run in that primary, but claims to have been frozen out by the party. The Democratic National Convention arrived a month after Kennedy watched his former political party -- a party in which both his father, uncle and other Kennedy family members had served -- oust a sitting president of the United States, one they elected. "In an honest system, I believe that I would have won the election," Kennedy said Friday in a press conference. "The kind of system my uncle and father thrived in -- a syste...

RFK Jr. claimed ‘sham’ New York address disqualifying him from Empire State ballot, judge rules

By Michael Dorgan | Fox News Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longshot bid for president has become even more unlikely after a judge ruled on Monday that his name should not appear on New York’s ballot after he falsely claimed a residence in the state on nominating petitions, despite living in California. New York Justice Christina L. Ryba concluded in a 34-page decision that the rented bedroom Kennedy, 70, claimed as his residence in the state wasn’t a "bona fide and legitimate residence, but merely a ‘sham’ address that he assumed for the purpose of maintaining his voter registration" and furthering his political candidacy. Ryba wrote in the decision that Kennedy’s designation of 84 Croton Lake Road in Westchester County as his place of residence "was a fa...

Libertarians pick Chase Oliver as presidential nominee, rejecting RFK, Jr., and Trump

By BRITTANY GIBSON | Politico The Libertarian Party selected former Georgia Senate candidate Chase Oliver as their presidential nominee on Sunday, spurning appeals for support over the weekend from both Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The selection of Oliver, who has described himself as “armed and gay” and whose third-party candidacy helped force a runoff in the Georgia Senate race in 2022, came a day after Trump suggested he would be the best nominee for the party, drawing a sustained chorus of boos. The former president was deemed ineligible for the nomination by the Libertarian Party chair — Trump wrote on his social media platform that, as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, he could not have accepted the nomination, anyway — while Kennedy was eliminated in the...

RFK, Jr. kicks off Independent petition drive to get on Colorado ballot at Aurora rally

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told supporters at a rally in Aurora on Sunday that his candidacy can unite a deeply divided country by focusing on what unites Americans. "Do you want a president who's going to make Americans forget that they're Democrats and forget that they're Republicans, and remember that we are all Americans?" Kennedy asked a cheering crowd of more than a thousan people, who packed a converted airplane hangar at Stanley Marketplace. "That's why you're here today. I'm going to do that for this country." The environmental attorney and scion of one of the country's most famous political families said that reelecting either President Joe Biden or former President Trump to another term won't bring the c...

RFK Jr. proposes ‘no-spoiler’ pledge with Biden, with loser dropping out

By Mallory Wilson | The Washington Times Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called on President Biden to take a “no-spoiler” pledge with him that, if accepted, would lead to one of the two men dropping out of the presidential race in mid-October. Mr. Kennedy‘s pledge would include a 50-state poll co-funded by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Biden in mid-October with more than 30,000 likely voters. The survey would test the results of head-to-head matchups between Mr. Biden and former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and between Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Trump. Both parties would pledge that whoever performs weaker head-to-head against Mr. Trump would then drop out...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential pick

By Diana Glebova | The New York Post Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his running mate Tuesday after months of speculation, picking entrepreneur and attorney Nicole Shanahan as his No. 2. Introducing Shanahan, 38, at an event in her hometown of Oakland, the 70-year-old Kennedy said he was “looking for a partner who is a young person.” “I wanted that because I wanted Nicole to be a champion of the growing number of millennial and Gen Z Americans who have lost faith in their future,” he added.
