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.[4] There was little opposition to the nomination, with the only objection coming from a group of self-described "Reform Party activists" requesting another convention.[5]
