Axios reports:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is showing potential for the most formidable independent presidential bid in a generation, but now the hard part begins.

What's happening: Kennedy has yet to get his name on the ballot in any general election state. The super PAC backing Kennedy's bid announced this week that it plans to spend up to $15 million on the effort.

• Their target states for the eight-figure effort are Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New York and Texas.
• "We have chosen to pursue these critical states, some of them battlegrounds, due to the complexity of the state election codes and the volume of signatures necessary to achieve ballot access," said Deirdre Golffard, the special counsel of ballot access for the American Values 2024 super PAC.

State of play: Kennedy's team has volunteers in place across the country to help gather signatures for the ballot.

• "We'll be doing rallies in pretty much every state," Spear said.
• "Of course [the rallies are] to encourage signature gathering, but they're also for Mr. Kennedy to meet with the voters, hear their concerns and for him to share his policies."
