RFK Jr.'s Presidential Bid in New York Faces Major Setback: Court Case Ends

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bid to appear on the New York presidential ballot in November is facing a major setback after a court case concluded with no immediate ruling on whether his residency claims are valid.

The case centers around Kennedy's residency status, with a lawsuit alleging he falsely claimed to live in New York while actually residing in Los Angeles since 2014.

**A non-jury trial in Albany concluded with no immediate decision from the judge, but any ruling is expected to be appealed. **

The lawsuit argues that Kennedy's nominating petition falsely listed a New York City address, potentially invalidating his candidacy in the state. The judge is expected to rule soon on whether Kennedy's petition should be invalidated, potentially removing him from the ballot in New York.

Kennedy, who has testified that his move to California was temporary, maintains his intention to return to New York. He claims to rent a room in Katonah, New York, but admits he has only slept there once due to frequent campaign travel.

The case could have significant consequences for Kennedy's national campaign, as losing the New York ballot could lead to lawsuits in other states where he listed the same address.

The legal battle continues as Kennedy seeks to secure his place on the ballot and continue his presidential campaign.
