The Supreme Court has rejected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s request to remove his name from ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin, effectively ending his attempts to withdraw.

With early voting already underway, officials in both states stated that Kennedy's removal requests came too late, making it impossible to alter the ballots.

A federal judge in Michigan highlighted the potential harm to voting rights and election integrity if Kennedy's request to withdraw were granted.

In Michigan, despite initially winning an appeals court ruling, Kennedy ultimately missed the deadline to withdraw as the candidate for the Natural Law Party.

Wisconsin and Michigan courts ruled against Kennedy last month, citing state laws that only allow withdrawal upon a candidate's death, and noting that he acted too late.

Kennedy's presence as an independent candidate could significantly influence the outcome of the presidential race in these crucial swing states.

Since endorsing Donald Trump, Kennedy has been attempting to withdraw from ballots in seven key swing states, including Michigan and Wisconsin.

As of now, over 1.5 million absentee ballots have been returned in Michigan, and more than 850,000 in Wisconsin, with early voting already in progress.

The Supreme Court's decisions were unsigned and provided no reasoning, which is typical for such cases, although Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented.

Trump has suggested that Kennedy could play a role in his administration, particularly concerning health policies, indicating a potential alliance.

Kennedy has previously succeeded in removing his name from ballots in several swing states, including Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Earlier this year, a Kennedy aide was dismissed after suggesting that the campaign's primary goal was to prevent Joe Biden from winning, a claim the campaign denied.
