A legal victory for Kennedy in the Tar Heel state could amount to an electoral win for Donald Trump.r
An appeals court in North Carolina delivered a blow to Vice President Kamala Harris in the Tar Heel State, agreeing to take Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name off the state’s ballots.
Hours before the first batches of November absentee ballots were to be sent to registered voters who requested them, the Court of Appeals granted Kennedy’s request Friday to halt the mailing of ballots that included his name.
Kennedy suspended his independent bid for the White House two weeks ago, choosing to endorse Trump instead. His decision came as polls suggested that his supporters could boost Trump’s campaign, and Kennedy admitted that his presence would be a « spoiler » in the battleground states, which is why he said he had already begun the process of removing his name from those ballots and urging voters in those states against voting for him.
Those efforts were tested in North Carolina, where the horse race remains razor-thin.
