Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Independent presidential campaign announced on Thursday, May 16, that it had successfully secured the necessary funding to achieve ballot access across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

This milestone, the campaign said, ensures that voters nationwide will have a third-party option in the upcoming presidential election. It was made possible by a large donation to the campaign from RFK Jr.’s Vice Presidential running mate Nicole Shanahan.
