    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The decision by the Natural Law Party to grant Mr. Kennedy its ballot line in November ensures he will be a factor in a pivotal swing state where the presidential election is expected to be incredibly close and where President Biden has already shown vulnerability with key Democratic constituencies.

    Brian Hughes, an adviser to Mr. Trump, called Mr. Kennedy “a leftist and liberal with a history of supporting an extreme environmental agenda that rivals Joe Biden for its ability to kill American jobs.”

    Some Michigan Democrats expressed concern about Mr. Kennedy’s presence on the ballot, given the tight margins, his famous name and Mr. Biden’s struggles to reunite the coalition that carried him to victory in 2020.

    The Biden campaign, which said it already had 30 offices across the state, has projected confidence that anti-Trump and Democratic voters will side with the president once they understand the stakes of 2024 and some of Mr. Kennedy’s positions.

    Even how to track Mr. Kennedy’s popularity has been the subject of fierce debate as pollsters try to find ways to neither inflate nor undercount his support, with different methods leading to different results.

    In Michigan’s Democratic primary, a protest movement urging voters to cast their ballots for “uncommitted” received 13 percent of the vote, enough to earn two delegates to the party’s national convention.
