A judge denied Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s request Monday to erase his name from the presidential ballot in swing state Wisconsin, ruling that state law requires candidates to remain on the ballot unless they die.

Glendale, Ariz. — Three weeks after dropping his independent presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become a ubiquitous campaigner for Donald Trump, urging his own loyal followers to cast their lot with the former president who said he'd give Kennedy a job if he returns to the White House.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is off the ballot in five of the seven key swing states heading into November, but his name will appear on the ballot in Wisconsin and Michigan, two of the most important Rust Belt states.
