Michigan‘s Supreme Court, which has a majority of Democrat-nominated justices, ruled on Monday that Robert Kennedy Jr. must appear on the battleground state’s ballot despite his efforts to get removed after ending his presidential campaign.

Kennedy, who endorsed former President Donald Trump after dropping out of the 2024 race last month, “has not shown an entitlement to this extraordinary relief, and we reverse” an appeals-level decision from last week, a majority order said.

The reversal could have significant consequences in a state where Trump won against Hillary Clinton by roughly 10,000 votes in the 2016 election and President Joe Biden prevailed against Trump by about 150,000 votes in the 2020 contest.

“This plainly has nothing to do with ballot or election integrity,” said Kennedy’s attorney Aaron Siri, according to the AP. “The aim is precisely the opposite — to have unwitting Michigan voters throw away their votes on a withdrawn candidate.”

Michigan’s secretary of state, a Democrat named Jocelyn Benson, refused to take Kennedy off the ballot, prompting a lawsuit. The Natural Law Party had nominated Kennedy and Benson’s office insisted minor party candidates “cannot withdraw.”

In a statement hailing the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision, a spokesperson for Benson declared, “Clerks can now move forward with the ballot printing process to ensure absentee ballots will be delivered to voters by the federal deadlines.”

The order to keep Kennedy on the Michigan ballot earned a stern rebuke from two Republican-nominated justices on the high court, David Viviano and Brian Zahra, who warned the ruling “will do nothing to rebuild” the public’s trust in elections.

“The ballots printed as a result of the Court’s decision will have the potential to confuse the voters, distort their choices, and pervert the true popular will and affect the outcome of the election,” the pair wrote in their dissenting opinion.

Kennedy, who labored to get on the ballot in all 50 states as an independent candidate, is now trying to undo his success in various places that could prove to be pivotal in Trump’s election face-off against Vice President Kamala Harris.

The AP reported North Carolina’s high court, which has a majority of justices who are registered as Republicans, gave Kennedy a victory on Monday by ruling ballots for the presidential election must be reprinted without his name on them.

Biden Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, a top surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, was called out during an interview this week over Harris’ refusal to answer questions and give access to the media.

Raimondo claimed during a CNBC interview Monday that Harris has been “crystal clear on her values, what she wants to fight for, and how she will do it.”

Her claim comes despite the fact that Harris has allegedly flip-flopped on numerous issues, according to what anonymous sources on her campaign tell friendly mainstream publications.

CNBC host Joe Kernen fired back at Raimondo: “The American people are frustrated, the media is frustrated that the amount of access anyone has got to her for the past 41 days, I know you’ve seen that, we’re finally going to have a debate tomorrow night, but she sat down for one interview that was taped, and then cut down and certain little things came out from it, but it has been a masterclass in avoiding any questions and nothing has been made clear by her.”

“Maybe it’s been made clear in drubs and drabs from her policymakers when it comes out in print or off a teleprompter at one of her scripted speeches,” he added. “She’s been impossible to pin down on anything because she hasn’t given any access. The American people deserve it.”

Harris has faced widespread criticism, even from friendly publications, over her refusal to sit for any kind of a live interview or answer any serious questions from a legitimate reporter, not a partisan commentator like CNN’s Dana Bash.

Raimondo was called out during a live interview last month for falsely suggesting that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made up numbers that were released by President Joe Biden’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that job growth throughout the 12 months ending in March would be revised downward by 818,000 jobs, a hefty drop that is roughly equivalent to 0.5% of total jobs. The downward revision was the largest in decades.

When asked during an ABC News interview whether the damaging jobs report could hurt Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, Raimondo responded: “No, when I hear that, first of all, I don’t believe it because I have never heard Donald Trump saying anything truthful.”

The ABC News host quickly interjected: “It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor.”

“I don’t, I don’t, I’m not familiar with that,” Raimondo claimed.
