Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on the North Carolina ballot after a state judge rejected an appeal from the North Carolina Democratic Party.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections ruled last month that Kennedy’s party, the We the People Party, did qualify for the state’s ballot. Wake County Superior Court Judge Keith Gregory rejected an appeal to that decision.

Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. raised more questions in the legal fight over his residency by claiming in a fundraising appeal that he “owns a home” in New York.

“Think about it: What do you call someone who owns a home in New York, is registered to vote there, and pays taxes in the state? A New York resident!,” the email pitch the Kennedy-Nicole Shanahan campaign sent to supporters said.

North Carolina’s state Board of Elections voted against giving ballot access to new parties supporting presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West on Wednesday night, though the decision is not final and will be revisited before the November election in the key battleground state.

The decision split the board along party lines, with the three-member Democratic majority voting to keep West and Kennedy off the ballot “for now,” and the two Republican commissioners said they were “disappointed” by the process.

Rudy Giuliani’s New York law license was revoked on Tuesday amid allegations that he assisted former President Donald Trump’s failed effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Giuliani’s law license remains under review in Washington, D.C.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential campaign is spending heavily, amassing steep debts and resorting to layoffs as it becomes almost singularly focused on the costly effort of placing his name on state ballots.

With less than two weeks from the first presidential debate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his campaign are hustling to get on as many state ballots as possible to be eligible for the debate on CNN, which requires a candidate to be able to win at least 270 electoral votes.

The independent presidential candidate announced Friday that he’s qualified for the ballot in 19 states, which could earn him 278 votes, but at least 10 of those states have yet to certify that his submissions are valid.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he submitted the required signatures to put him on Minnesota’s ballot and surpass eligibility for 270 electoral votes, pushing him another step closer to qualifying for June’s presidential debate. 

A press release from the campaign confirmed Kennedy submitted 3,300 signatures in Minnesota. Kennedy now claims ballot access in 19 states with 278 electoral votes. Half of the states where he has submitted the necessary signatures for ballot access have not yet verified his submission.

The Democratic National Committee will move to conduct virtual proceedings to certify President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominees before Ohio's Aug. 7 ballot certification deadline, and before their in-person convention beginning Aug. 19, the party confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday.
