Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running an independent campaign for president, announced he has gained ballot access in South Carolina.
Kennedy and his running mate Nicole Shanahan will be running on the Alliance Party. Kennedy’s campaign said it is spending more than $15 million to ensure he gets on the ballot in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
Aside from South Carolina, Kennedy is officially on the ballot in Utah, Michigan, California, Delaware, Oklahoma, Hawaii, and Texas. He has collected enough signatures for ballot access in New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey, and New York, the campaign said.
In New York, Kennedy's campaign said they turned in 135,519 signatures, three times the required amount and more than any presidential candidate has ever submitted to the state.
Nationally, Kennedy is getting 10% support in the five-way polling average, according to RealClearPolitics.
