Court Hearing Challenges Kennedy's Ballot Status in Pennsylvania

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced a legal challenge in Pennsylvania where Democratic activists are attempting to block his candidacy for the presidential ballot. Kennedy arrived nearly two hours late to the hearing, citing a canceled flight, and was unable to testify, prompting the judge to proceed without him. The challengers claim his candidacy paperwork includes a false address and that he failed to meet signature requirements necessary for ballot access. Kennedy accused the Democratic Party of using 'lawfare' to suppress his campaign and disenfranchise voters who support him. The outcome of this case is critical, as it could impact the electoral dynamics in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state with 19 electoral votes. A decision from the court is expected soon, as ballot finalizations are imminent.
