NEWS: Former President Donald Trump and his campaign have launched an attack on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – an independent candidate with low double-digit support in polls that poses a threat to Trump. It shows that it could be just as much of a threat as it is. President Joe Biden.
While Mr. Kennedy is cutting into Mr. Biden’s support among young voters and Latinos, he appears to be alienating a similar number of anti-establishment and liberal voters from Mr. Trump. He also has the support of people who have no favoritism to either Trump or Biden.
It’s impossible to predict what kind of impact Kennedy will ultimately have as a wild card in the presidential race, but losing just a few votes in six battleground states could turn a potential winner into an Electoral College loser. Mr. Kennedy is clearly concerned about candidates from both major parties because of their gender.
