Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has secured a place on the ballot in the battleground state of Michigan. The Michigan secretary of state’s office said Thursday that the Natural Law Party nominated Kennedy at a convention. Kennedy’s independent bid has spooked allies of both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees, who fear his famous last name and support among a slice of disaffected voters will be enough to tip the election. Michigan is the second state after Utah to affirm that his name will be presented to voters.
