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.

The Democrats don’t want Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot. In early March, the Kennedy campaign announced that volunteers had collected over 15,000 signatures for the candidate’s name to appear in the voting booths of the swing state of Nevada. Later that month, Cisco Aguilar, the state’s Democratic secretary of state, threw cold water on the campaign’s excitement by rejecting the campaign’s signatures for having failed to include a running mate on the candidacy petition. 

Twenty years ago Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared in an HBO documentary about the dangers of a nuclear plant on the Hudson River. Indian Point: Imagining the Unimaginable, directed by his sister Rory Kennedy, pits the crusading Kennedys, pictured flying in a helicopter over the nuclear facility, against Entergy, the power company. The film argued that the surrounding environment would be made uninhabitable if the plant came under terrorist attack.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is denying a Vanity Fair report saying he barbequed and ate what appears to be a dog.

“I’m a very adventurous eater. I’ll eat anything, but I wouldn’t eat a dog,” Kennedy said during a Tuesday appearance on “CUOMO.” It is a goat, and you are what you eat.”

Kennedy said it’s ironic that Vanity Fair’s “persistent complaint against him” is that he promotes misinformation, given that “the whole article is just a dumpster of misinformation.”

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once ate a dog — or so Vanity Fair wants you to believe.

The magazine printed a photo of Mr. Kennedy with an unidentified female hamming it up for the camera on a purported trip in Korea, pretending to bite into a cooked animal. Vanity Fair says a veterinarian identified the barbequed carcass as a canine. Mr. Kennedy says it was a goat and that the picture was taken in Patagonia. 

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wasn’t with his better-known rivals, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, when they debated Thursday in Atlanta.

But Kennedy responded in real time to the same questions — about inflation, the COVID-19 response and abortion — that were posed to Biden and Trump in an unusual livestream on the social platform X. Host John Stossell kept Kennedy’s answers to the same strict time constraints imposed on the other candidates.

On Thursday night, independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. stood alone on a stage in a small studio in Los Angeles answering the questions posed to his rivals at the first presidential debate 2,000 miles away in Atlanta.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will give Americans four more years of the same struggles while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will implement change if he is elected, the independent presidential candidate said in his closing statement at “The Real Debate.”

Shut out of the CNN presidential forum in Atlanta, Mr. Kennedy held a forum in Los Angeles that was moderated by former ABC News and Fox Business Network journalist John Stossel.

In the runup to the season’s first presidential debate set for June 27, longshot third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. managed to satisfy two of the prerequisites for a run at the Oval Office: being born in the United States, and filing an official statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.
