Supporters of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gathered in Harrisburg to submit petitions with nearly three times the required signatures for the third-party candidate to be included on the Pennsylvania ballot. Independent candidates need 5,000 signatures, and organizers estimate they have submitted nearly 15,000. While many believe RFK Jr. may only siphon votes from Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, supporters argue that it is important to provide voters with another option. Bill Cox, director of RFK’s campaign in Pennsylvania, highlighted Kennedy’s history of fighting for the average person through organizations like the Children’s Health Defense and the Riverkeepers Organization, as well as his willingness to challenge large corporations like Monsanto. The Kennedy Campaign has successfully secured a spot on the ballot in 13 states and has submitted the necessary signatures in 19 more, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. This effort reflects a growing interest in alternative candidates and the desire for more diverse political options. With RFK Jr.’s platform centered around championing the everyday individual and combatting powerful corporations, his campaign offers a distinct choice for voters looking for alternative solutions to the country’s challenges.
