Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Supreme Court rejected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s emergency appeal to remove his name from ballots in Wisconsin and Michigan. This decision comes as early voting is ongoing, with more than 1.5 million absentee ballots already returned in Michigan alone. Kennedy, who suspended his independent campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, contended that his presence on the ballots infringed his First Amendment rights, a claim state officials said was impractical to address at this stage. Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented in the Michigan case.
