Third-party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially qualified for Indiana's November ballot — marking the ninth state in which he has made the threshold.

Kennedy's campaign reported he has gathered more than 46,000 approved signatures, which Secretary of State communications director Lindsey Eaton said were certified.

Green party candidate Jill Stein attempted to make the ballot but fell short with just under 28,000 signatures. Candidates needed 36,943 signatures to appear on the November ballot.

Kennedy reported turning in over 105,000 signatures to county election offices, and that officials had certified 39,000, on his campaign website.

Kennedy and running mate Nicole Shanahan claim on their website they're confirmed to appear on the ballot in 10 states so far: California, Delaware, Hawaii, South Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Utah, Minnesota and Michigan, as of July 17. However, several states have attempted to challenge those appearances.

It's unclear how a third-party candidate will affect the race after President Joe Biden withdrew his bid for the candidacy. As of July 23, one poll showed Kennedy receiving around 6 percentage points of the vote, but most polls don't include new potential Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Kennedy made news recently over allegations he discussed trading an endorsement for Donald Trump for a potential position in his administration if elected.
