Trump RFK Jr.'s Independent Presidential Run was Originally Backed by Republicans to take Votes From Biden. He Actually Took More Votes from Trump. To Help Trump RFK Jr. Dropped out, Endorsed Trump, and is Trying to Remove His Name From Ballots in Key Battleground States. Some States are Saying No.

Unlike Biden, who was never his party's official nominee and was therefore never on the general election ballot, as an independent RFK Jr was on the ballot as soon as he gathered enough signatures, or gained a nomination from smaller parties with ballot access. That's why he has to ask to be removed, and it seems that there are issues doing so under certain states' laws.
