TUCSON, AZ—FEB. 1, 2024—Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is hitting the campaign trail to continue his bid for president of the United States of America. Kennedy will speak on Feb. 5 in Tucson, Arizona, with special guest Jesse Ventura.

As an independent candidate, Kennedy has launched a massive grassroots effort to get him on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Kennedy is hosting the following upcoming events:

WHAT: Tucson Voter Rally
WHEN: Monday, Feb. 5, 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. MT 
WHERE: Fox Tucson Theater, 17 W Congress St., Tucson, AZ 85701
SET UP: 6:30 p.m. MT if you need priority placement
RSVP: Media must register for each event with their name, outlet, title, and phone number to [email protected] and put TUCSON in the subject line

On Substack, Kennedy shared how ballot access laws for independent and third-party candidates are among the worst forms of voter suppression in America today. But Kennedy is confident that with the groundswell of support for his campaign, he will be on the ballot in every state.

“Normally, independent candidates pay companies millions of dollars to gather signatures,” Kennedy explained. “We’re taking a different route that starts with our thousands of volunteers in each state.” 

At upcoming campaign rallies, supporters can add their signatures to the official ballot petition.

“We have begun signature collection in many open states,” said Press Secretary Stefanie Spear. “We’re ready for whatever comes our way. We have the field teams, volunteers, legal teams, paid circulators, supporters, and strategy ready to get ‘Bobby on the Ballot.’”

A recent Quinnipiac poll shows Kennedy outpaces Biden and Trump among independents — Kennedy 36%, Biden 32%, and Trump 26%. Kennedy beats Trump and Biden among voters ages 18-34 with 40% of the vote compared to Biden’s 36% and Trump’s 21%.

A New York Times/Siena poll shows Kennedy closing the gap on Trump and Biden in six battleground states — AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, and WI — where he comes within single digits of the two-party candidates. In these states, RFK Jr. beats Trump and Biden among 18-44 year olds. 

A recent Harvard Harris Poll shows Kennedy beats Biden and Trump in favorability.
