Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will officially be on the 2024 presidential ballot in Iowa. His campaign has shared a screenshot from the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office confirming his place on the ballot, where he will be running under the ‘We The People’ non-party political organization. This development marks a significant step in Kennedy’s unconventional campaign, which has seen him shift from an initial bid as a Democratic candidate to an independent run.
Kennedy, known for his environmental advocacy and controversial views on various issues, has been polling in the high single digits recently. His campaign has gained traction among voters seeking an alternative to the traditional two-party system. The move to the ‘We The People’ platform signifies his attempt to appeal to a broader base of independents and disenchanted voters from both major parties.
In addition to Iowa, Kennedy has secured spots on the presidential ballots in several other states. He is confirmed on the Nevada ballot, which will be a critical battleground in the upcoming election. However, his campaign has faced challenges in some states; for instance, he is not automatically included on the Alabama ballot and will need to meet additional requirements to appear there.
Kennedy’s presence on multiple state ballots reflects his campaign’s strategic efforts to gain national visibility and influence. As of today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also confirmed on the presidential ballots in:
- New Hampshire
- South Carolina
- Texas
- California
- Florida
- Arizona
These states represent a mix of primary battlegrounds and general election hotspots, indicating Kennedy’s ambition to make a substantial impact on the 2024 race.
Kennedy’s campaign continues to focus on issues such as government transparency, public health reform, and environmental protection. His candidacy is seen by some as a disruptive force in the election, potentially drawing votes from both Democratic and Republican candidates.
The upcoming months will be crucial for Kennedy as he works to solidify his position and expand his support base. His inclusion on key state ballots is a significant milestone, but the road to the White House remains challenging.
