Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate for the 2024 election, is making significant strides in his campaign by collecting sufficient signatures to gain ballot access in multiple states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Despite facing legal challenges, such as the North Carolina Democratic Party's lawsuit alleging underhanded tactics to get on the ballot, Kennedy's campaign persists in expanding its reach. A New Jersey judge recently denied an effort to block Kennedy from the ballot under the state's sore loser law. Kennedy's campaign has also garnered financial backing, raising significant funds despite dwindling poll numbers. His supporters continue to push for political independence, symbolized by campaign merchandise like the 'Vote Independent' T-shirts.
