RFK Jr. Secures Ballot Spot in North Carolina

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign has qualified for the ballot in North Carolina, adding to the list of battleground states where he will be a White House contender through the "We The People" party. With 23,000 pledges of support, the independent candidate's team is focusing on swing states like North Carolina, which Trump won by a slim margin in 2020. Kennedy has also qualified in Utah, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and Nevada, where he may need to regather signatures due to a vice-presidential requirement. His choice of Nicole Shanahan as a running mate, a tech lawyer with ties to Google, is seen as a strategic move to boost his campaign's ballot access.
