RFK is not able to withdraw his name from the ballot in MI and WI. He is attempting to withdraw his name from the other 5 swing states. Still to be seen which ones he is able to clear his name from. It seems that he is going to keep his name on the ballot in non-swing states, as during his speech, he encouraged those in safe blue and red states to still vote for him.

Jill Stein is or will be on the ballot in all the states that matter: The 7 swing states and Omaha; plus OH, FL, VA, MN and ME for good measure. She won't be on the ballot in NH.

Cornel West is still out there. Tough to say whether his vote share will make any difference, even at the margins. He's on the ballot in MI, NC and Omaha; then pending certification in WI, PA, GA, as well as FL, VA, MN and ME. He won't be on the ballot in AZ and NV, nor in OH and NH.

Finally, what about the Libertarian candidate, Chase Oliver? Well, the Libertarian Party has officially stuck its head up its ass. It nominated a complete degenerate this year, someone who is flaming queer and fully left libertarian. I think half the people who showed up at the Libertarian convention left disgusted. So, I don't think he's going to pull many votes this year, probably the lowest of any LIbertarian candidate ever. Trump and RFK both spoke at their nominating convention, so that was hopefully marginally productive. Here's a brief piece on their nutjob nominee:
