A New York judge ruled Monday that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cannot appear on the state's November ballot, siding with a Democratic-backed political action committee that challenged Kennedy's candidacy over the residence he listed to qualify.
The judge's decision could pave the way for similar residency challenges targeting Kennedy's candidacy in other states.
New York Justice Christina Ryba, a judge in Albany, ruled that Kennedy falsely claimed on his nominating petition that his "place of residence" is an address in Katonah, N.Y., outside of New York City, where he rents a spare bedroom rather than his home in California, which he purchased in 2021 after marrying actress Cheryl Hines in 2014.
