Independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be on the 2024 Texas ballot, state election officials said. The Texas Secretary of State's office announced Thursday afternoon that it had accepted Kennedy 's petition to appear on the state ballot with 122,513 valid signatures. The Texas election code required a petition to have at least 113,151 valid signatures.
Questions have been raised in other states about Kennedy signature gatherers and the use of misleading tactics while collecting signatures. This push from state Democrats to keep Kennedy off the ballot also aligned with national Democrats' efforts to keep the Independent candidate off state ballots as his campaign continues to try to get ballot access in all 50 states.
However, once Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee after Biden dropped out of the race, Kennedy’s support dropped to 5% nationally. Kennedy has confirmed ballot access in 14 other states but claims he has access in about 29 other states.
