Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is seeking to get on the ballot in several states as an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got a legal win Wednesday in New Jersey over the state's 'sore loser' law.New Jersey Administrative Law Judge Ernest Bongiovanni ruled that Kennedy did not violate the state's 'sore loser' law, which seeks to bar candidates from running as independents after previously running under a different party in a primary.

Salmon attempted to block Kennedy from appearing on the ballot as an independent, citing a state law that prohibits candidates who run for a major party nomination in a primary from running for the same office as an independent in the general election.Salmon aimed to enforce this 'sore loser' statute because Kennedy had initially filed with the Federal Election Commission in April 2023 to run as a Democrat, but later amended his filing in October to pursue an independent bid.
