Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered 245,572 signatures to the Texas secretary of state. This is twice as many as required to appear on the ballots in Texas. Kennedy was accompanied by his running mate Nicole Shanahan.
His campaign team assured that the intention is for Kennedy to be "the first independent presidential candidate to make the Texas ballot in more than two decades since Pat Buchanan’s presidential run in 2000. The signature requirement then was just over 56,000, now it’s 113,151."
