Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, has decided against running as a Libertarian candidate in order to focus on securing ballot access in all 50 states.

Kennedy made this announcement during a victory celebration in West Des Moines, Iowa, where his campaign successfully met the requirements to appear on the general election ballot.

Despite encountering challenges in ballot access across the country, Kennedy expressed confidence in his ability to replicate these results nationwide.

He remains committed to his independent candidacy and plans to add two to three states per week to his ballot access efforts.

Kennedy’s decision not to join the Libertarian Party comes after discussions about the possibility, but he remains resolute in his pursuit as an independent candidate, ABC News has reported.

Despite facing criticism and polling challenges, Kennedy is determined to continue his campaign and believes he has a strong chance of winning in November.

He also emphasized his stance on international issues, including his views on the Israel-Iran conflict and U.S. military involvement.

Kennedy’s candidacy has generated interest, with some voters expressing a desire for a debate between him, President Biden, and former President Trump, while downplaying concerns about his potential impact on the election outcome.
