Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the ballot in Arizona, signaling the likely end of his campaign ahead of a Friday event in the state.
Kennedy, already failing to reach double digits, took another major polling hit after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July. Amid his fledgling numbers, running mate Nicole Shanahan began openly flirting with the prospect of dropping out and joining forces with former President Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris. The expected dropout was further signaled by news on Thursday that Kennedy had withdrawn from the Arizona ballot.
Much of Kennedy’s campaign had been characterized by a struggle against Democratic lawyers to earn a spot on every state ballot.
