Robert F. Kennedy Jr. qualifies for presidential ballot in Utah, the first state to grant him access

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has collected enough signatures to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot in Utah, election officials say, marking the first state where the independent candidate and prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist has qualified. Kennedy has met the 1,000-signature requirement needed to qualify for the Utah ballot and can officially file to run as a presidential candidate in the state before a March 5 deadline, state Elections Director Ryan Cowley said. Utah is the first state where Kennedy's campaign submitted signatures and qualified for ballot access, campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear said.
