Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s campaign announced on Monday that the White House contender has qualified to appear on the North Carolina ballot in November.
The Independent candidate's campaign says it now has enough signatures to list Kennedy as a White House contender through the “We The People” party, gathering 23,000 pledges of support in the purple state.
“We have the field teams, volunteers, legal teams, paid circulators, supporters, and strategists ready to get the job done,” said Kennedy's campaign press secretary Stefanie Spear in a statement announcing the news on Monday.
The addition of the Tar Heel state brings Kennedy's ballot qualified total to five states so far, including Utah, New Hampshire and Hawaii. According to The Hill, In Nevada, he cleared the signature threshold but had not yet met the additional requirement of having a declared vice president alongside his name, raising questions about whether he will have to re-gather signatures of support.
Last week, RFK Jr. announced Democrat lawyer Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. (RELATED: RFK Jr. Announces Running Mate)
