Supreme Court rejected a bid by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday. to restore his name to the New York ballot.
The appeal was rejected by the country’s highest court without comment and without any notable dissenting opinions.
Kennedy has been trying to get his name off ballots in key battleground states ever since suspended his campaign in August and confirmed the former President Trump.
The candidate, meanwhile, has tried to stay on the ballot in states like New York, where his presence is unlikely to make a difference in the battle between Trump and Vice President Harris.

When he suspended his campaign, Kennedy said he planned to keep his name on the ballot Democratic and Republican states, but didn’t want to be a spoiler in the battleground states.
“In about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I will remove my name, and I have already begun that process and am urging voters not to vote for me,” Kennedy said. “Our poll consistently showed by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.”
