Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has withdrawn his name as an independent candidate for president from the Wyoming ballot, according to the Secretary of State’s office.
Sept. 5 was the deadline for the secretary to certify the list of general election candidates and proposed ballot propositions to county clerks.
This comes two weeks after Kennedy announced he’s dropping his bid and backing former Pres. Donald Trump. Trump added Kennedy to his transition team soon after.
Kennedy had successfully petitioned to appear as an independent candidate for president on Wyoming’s general election ballot.
While Kennedy has been able to remove his name from several states’ ballots, others have denied his request. His name will remain on the ballot in Michigan and North Carolina – and potentially Wisconsin – where election officials and judges say it’s too late to remove him.
