RFK has enough signatures to be on ballot in all 50 states.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made a bold claim, stating that he has gathered enough signatures to be on the ballot in all 50 states. This declaration comes as a significant milestone in his presidential campaign.
During a recent interview, Kennedy confidently stated, “Right now we have enough signatures to be on all 50 states.” He further reassured that the necessary documentation has been submitted, with some states currently in the certification process.
When questioned about the delay in being officially registered on the ballot in only eight states so far, Kennedy attributed the hold-up to state governments. He explained, “A lot of the states don’t certify until mid-August. So, we’ve turned in our signatures, they have been accepted, and they’re on track to be certified.”
Despite facing certain bureaucratic hurdles, Kennedy remains optimistic about his chances. He highlighted that their efforts have surpassed those of other candidates, emphasizing, “It’s just the states [holding] it up — no one can get on the ballot. No one can be on more ballots than we are now.”
A recent survey conducted by Ipsos revealed that Kennedy is polling at around 5% among voters in seven crucial swing states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada. Although his support may seem modest, it could potentially influence the outcome in what appears to be a fiercely contested race.
On the other hand, Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is challenging Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 election scheduled for November. Harris seems to have a slight edge, garnering 42% of the vote share in the seven swing states, as opposed to Trump’s 40% — a slender margin that underscores the tense competition between the two main party contenders.
It is evident that Kennedy’s bid for the presidency has gained traction, especially in pivotal states where his support could be pivotal. With his aspiration to be on the ballot in all 50 states, Kennedy remains a formidable force in the political arena, offering voters an alternate choice in what promises to be a closely watched election.
As the campaign unfolds and the November election approaches, all eyes will be on how the candidates navigate the competitive landscape and connect with voters across the country. The race for the White House is heating up, setting the stage for a riveting showdown that will determine the future trajectory of the nation.
