Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign suffered a blow when a judge in New York invalidated his petition to put his name on the state ballot.
FILE - Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., top, leaves after giving testimony at the Albany County Courthouse, Aug. 7, 2024, in Albany, N.Y.
National Democrats in particular have been active in trying to undercut his candidacy, while former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, has alternated between criticizing Kennedy as liberal and courting his endorsement or the backing of some of his supporters. Days after the non-jury trial ended, Ryba ruled that using "a friend's address for political and voting purposes, while barely stepping foot on the premises, does not equate to residency under the Election Law."Kennedy's legal team also promised to seek injunctive relief in federal court in New York City. They argue that the U.S. Constitution's 12th Amendment governs the residency of presidential and vice presidential candidates, not state law.
Clear Choice Action said Kennedy has listed the same New York address on nominating petitions in 17 other states.
