Former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spent the past several weeks attempting to have his name removed from several state ballots in the wake of throwing his full support behind former President Donald Trump.
According to the Daily Caller, Kennedy successfully had his name removed from the Wyoming ballot.
The outlet noted that the Wyoming secretary of state granted the request just a day after he filed to have it removed, making it one of the easier ballot removal requests he faced.
Kennedy, who switched from Democrat to independent earlier this year, essentially dropped out of the race in August before endorsing Trump.
Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray announced the removal of Kennedy from the state's ballot in a statement that was posted to his office's official X account.
"Following his notice of withdrawal, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not appear on the ballot as a presidential candidate in Wyoming," Gray wrote. "Our office is dedicated to providing continued, transparent service to the people of Wyoming."
On September 4th, RFK, Jr. notified the Wyoming Secretary of State that he intended to withdraw his name from the 2024 General Election ballot in Wyoming.

As far as states that matter, Kennedy's name has already been removed from Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Kennedy and his team battled to have his name removed from ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin, but both states' respective courts denied the request.
North Carolina also denied Kennedy's request to have his name removed, but the former candidate's lawyer noted that they're appealing that particular decision.
Hilariously, there was a time when Democrats didn't want Kennedy's name on any ballot. Now, they want him to stay on in as many as possible.
That's because, generally speaking, Kennedy's name on the ticket, at this point, would take more votes away from Trump than it would Vice President Kamala Harris.
While Wyoming was a lock for Trump, regardless of Kennedy's appearance on the ballot, it's one less state that his campaign has to worry about.
Hopefully, Kennedy and his lawyers have luck removing him from the rest of the important swing states before November.
