A New York campaign staffer for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who said that the independent presidential candidate would help former President Donald Trump defeat President Joe Biden if he is on the state’s ballot was fired for “misrepresentation,” according to Mr. Kennedy’s campaign manager.

Last week, a video circulated of Rita Palma encouraging an audience to back Mr. Kennedy on the New York ballot because it would help Mr. Trump beat Mr. Biden in November.
