As President Biden struggles to improve in the polls, Democrats are increasingly worried that third-party candidates will swing the election to former President Donald Trump.
As of Monday, per RealClearPolitics polling averages, Trump held a popular-vote lead of 1.7% in a hypothetical one-on-one rematch.
Trump’s advantage, however, rose to 2.3% in the current five-way race, which includes Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independents Cornel West and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy is by far the greatest potential spoiler, drawing an average of 9.9% of the overall vote.

True.
That’s a good list of Kennedy’s history as a Democrat, that shouLd be of great concern to anyone considering him. But many people believe Trump was able to change his mind, and his list of friends, and people he donated to, etc, over a few short years, so maybe Kennedy has changed some too. I’m not saying he has, just that if you believe Trump flipped, then you can’t say it’s not possible for someone else to have as well.
For example, Kennedy has been very outspoken on thevcrisis at the border, and the corruption in government, which are Trump’s two biggest issues. The TV add I’ve seen him use on conservative networks/streams focuses clearly on two other things, that he correctly points out that Biden and Trump won’t touch on pretty much whatsoever.
First of course is “covid accountability” which covers everything from gain of function, to operation warp speed, and eventual mandates. The other thing is the national debt, which is on course to bankrupt the US within 10 years, with no plans to tackle it being out by anyone.
Those four things in total are the four biggest things facing America, in my opinion, and Kennedy is the only one even talking about two of them. So he’s ahead of the pack in identifying the core issues we face, I’m just not sure I would trust the solutions he might came up with. Plus, he doesn’t have much of a chance at winning, and even if he did, Congress probably wouldn’t work with a third party President, to prevent it from happening again.
Trump apparently posted just recently “I love that he is running!” I’m not making that accusation, but if you were looking for someone with motive, and the means…
They need to go hard after Trump and call him a racist Nazi.
They haven’t tried that before?
I love this pick for RFK Jr. This positions him more on the Left AND she’s got enough cash to bankroll his entire campaign with no sweat. So much for the Democrats’ efforts to keep him off the ballot. With this VP pick, the people who are going to vote for him are going to be far more likely to be people who would otherwise have voted for Biden.
And yet almost every other opinion is the complete opposite.
How does this position him more to the left? I think they have almost every position in common.
What would Kennedy do about the national debt except add to it?
Perot did not take evenly from both parties.
Jr. and his leftist younger gal running mate take votes from the under 40 liberal Dems.
The same kind of “republicans” that would vote for him are the same ones backing Willard Romney and Liz Cheney...
From what I can gather, Kennedy wants to slash defense spending, somehow cut health care costs, and something about tying bitcoin to the US dollar.
Like I said, he gets an ‘A’ for evening mentioning the national debt, which is what will soon destroy the US, and all other candidates avoid even discussing it. But I wouldn’t trust his solutions. Bitcoin? Get real. It’s never even been revealed who supposedly developed it, and we’re supposed to tie our entire money system to it? Ridiculous.
That’s not what I’m seeing so far. I haven’t seen any Democrats excited about RFK Jr, only people on the right?
Obama was in bad shape in 2012 yet Romney had no problems at all losing to him.
Chill and enjoy this.
There are millions of Democrats who will finally get to vote for a Kennedy.
All we need to do is get out of their way.
Obama was no way in as bad of shape as Biden is now.
There were cheating then, too, but not on the scale of 2020.
Biden is a flat out disaster and they know he’s unelectable without massive voter fraud.
I still say it’s probable there will be no elections this year. They’re going to create total chaos.
Exactly
We thought Obama was going to declare martial law in 2012. You think the deep state is this nervous to try this?
They’d have to create the conditions to justify martial law.
I don’t think we can put anything past them.
If the Sleeper Cells that have come in with the invasion are activated, all hell will/would break loose.
