"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Secures Spot on Utah's Presidential Ballot Amid Controversy"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate and anti-vaccination activist, has qualified for the 2024 presidential ballot in Utah, securing the necessary 1,000 signatures. Despite this initial success, he faces the challenge of qualifying in the remaining states, each with its own set of rules for ballot access. Kennedy Jr., a member of the prominent Democratic family, had initially considered running for the Democratic nomination but opted for an independent bid. His campaign plans to spend $15 million on efforts to gain ballot access across the country. With national polling around 13%, his candidacy's impact on the general election remains uncertain, as it could potentially draw votes from both major party candidates.
