Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has successfully secured a spot on Minnesota's presidential ballot for the upcoming election in November. This achievement was confirmed by a state elections official on Tuesday.
Kennedy's campaign diligently gathered and submitted over 3,000 signatures to the Minnesota Secretary of State's office last month. The state requires independent presidential candidates to provide a minimum of 2,000 valid signatures to be included on the ballot.
Following a thorough review process, Kennedy's petition was deemed valid, meeting the necessary criteria for ballot access in Minnesota. This development marks the eighth state where Kennedy has officially gained ballot access, showcasing his growing presence in the presidential race.
In addition to Minnesota, Kennedy has also qualified for the presidential ballot in Michigan, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Delaware, California, Hawaii, and Utah. With a total of 110 electoral votes potentially at stake across these states, Kennedy's campaign continues to make significant strides in expanding its reach.
Overall, the Kennedy campaign has made substantial progress in securing ballot access nationwide. To date, they have either gained ballot access, submitted required paperwork, or completed signature collection efforts in 27 states, underscoring their commitment to ensuring Kennedy's presence on ballots across the country.
