RFK, Jr. will not appear on 5 of the 7 battleground states: AZ, GA, NC, NV and PA, along with Nebraska's 2nd District (Omaha). MI and WI are the 2 battleground states that have denied his attempts to be removed. He has also been able to remove his name from the ballot in the potentially competitive states FL, ME, NH, OH, TX, and VA, while he will be forced to remain on the ballot in MN. At his campaign suspension speech, Kennedy said he was going to keep his name on the ballot in non-competitive states, and he encouraged his supporters in safe blue and red states to still vote for him. But on Friday, September 5, he changed his mind and encouraged his supporters in every state to vote for Trump.

Jill Stein is on the ballot in 6 of the 7 battleground states: AZ, GA, MI, NC, PA and WI, plus Omaha. She won't be on the ballot in NV. She's also on the ballot in the potentially competitive states: FL, ME, MN, NH, OH, TX and VA.

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 GA, MI, NC, WI and Omaha, as well as in MN, ME and VA. He won't be on the ballot in AZ, NV and PA, as well as in FL, NH, OH and TX.

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 were disgusted at his nomination. 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, Jr. both spoke at the Libertarian Party's nominating convention, so that was hopefully marginally productive. In any case, he is on the ballot in every state that is conceivably competitive.

Here's a brief piece on the Libertarian Party's nutjob nominee: nypost.com/2024/06/10/opinion/im-a-libertarian-but-the-party-has-turned-into-a-joke
