Former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed his name from Wyoming’s general election ballot, the Secretary of State’s office confirmed Thursday.
Kennedy informed the state office on Wednesday that he intended to withdraw his name from the state’s general election ballot, and it was granted the following day, according to the press release. Kennedy suspended his campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald Trump, and he has since been working on removing his name from the ballot in several states.
“Following his notice of withdrawal, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not appear on the ballot as a presidential candidate in Wyoming,” Secretary of State Chuck Gray said in the announcement. “Our office is dedicated to providing continued, transparent service to the people of Wyoming.”

Kennedy entered the presidential race as a Democrat in April 2023, but consistently criticized the party for supporting President Joe Biden and not organizing primary debates. He later announced his decision to run as an independent in October.
Kennedy has already been removed from ballots in key states including Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, while Michigan and Wisconsin courts have ruled that he must stay on their ballots, CBS News reported. His lawyer has said they plan to appeal a North Carolina judge’s decision to keep his name on the ballot, according to The Hill.
