Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his presidential bid, but he may still appear on Iowans’ ballots this fall.
Kennedy, who was running as a candidate for the We The People party, suspended his campaign on Friday and endorsed former President Donald Trump.
In his remarks announcing the decision, Kennedy said he would remove his name from the ballot in about 10 battleground states “where my presence would be a spoiler.” In some states, like Arizona and Pennsylvania, he is already off the ballot.

But Kennedy’s name could still appear on Iowa’s ballot. Ashley Hunt, a spokesperson for Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, said that as of Friday afternoon the office had not received a notice that Kennedy would be withdrawing his name.
The deadline for candidates to withdraw from Iowa’s general election ballot is Aug. 29. Any candidates who withdraw prior to that date will not be on the ballot, Hunt said. The state will certify general election ballots on Sept. 3.
