On May 23, 2024, the Reform Party of the United States of America selected Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as its 2024 nominee for President of the United States at its convention.[1][2][3][4] Kennedy withdrew his candidacy on August 23, 2024, and was removed as the Reform Party's presidential nominee.[5]
The Reform Party of Florida regained its ballot access in June 2024, giving Kennedy and his vice presidential nominee, Nicole Shanahan, a spot on the Florida presidential ballot.[6] There was little opposition to the nomination, with the only objection coming from a group of self-described "Reform Party activists" requesting another convention.[7]
