This is a shift from his prior stance of keeping the door open.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attends a Cesar Chavez Day event at Union Station on March 30, 2024, in Los Angeles.Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has ruled out a run as a Libertarian candidate to assist in his efforts to get on the ballots in all 50 states -- a marked change from his prior posture, where he kept the door open.
The campaign says they surpassed that benchmark -- a member of his team claiming it accrued 686 credentialed delegates representing more than 35 counties in Iowa. The results have yet to be certified by the Iowa secretary of state's office. Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle said she would not comment for "at least a few days." Kennedy, who faces a grueling ballot access effort as an independent, had publicly been keeping open the option of vying to lead the Libertarian ticket, which would ensure him ballot access everywhere. Recently, the group voiced concerns about Kennedy's recent vice presidential pick.
