Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., came one big step forward on Monday to being a 2024 election spoiler.
Kennedy has collected enough voter signatures to qualify for the presidential election ballot in the key battleground state of North Carolina, his campaign said in a press release. With 16 electoral votes, it’s the largest state where Kennedy has secured a place on the ballot so far.
The news marks perhaps the most significant development to date toward what Democrats see as a nightmare scenario: Kennedy altering the outcome of the rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump by collecting just a few thousand votes in the closest swing states.
