Kennedy has recently made claims of Democratic primary rigging central to his campaign. Several of his allegations are wrong or unfounded.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made denunciations of his own party a centerpiece of his campaign, attacking leaders with a blend of unfounded election-rigging allegations and real complaints about the disadvantages he faces in the nominating process.Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison decided Tuesday that the party needed to respond.
“I think the American people will always appreciate candidates who have the courage and nerve to believe they could win a rigged game,” Kucinich said. While delegate selection plans have not yet been finalized, Iowa and New Hampshire appear headed toward early contests that do not directly produce Democratic convention delegates. Similarly, Republican officials in Nevada have said they will not award delegates from the results of the state-run primary there, but will instead hold party-run caucuses.
Kucinich said that he had tried to seek clarification from the state party in August and never received a response. But even after Harrison addressed the issue in Tuesday’s letter, Kucinich said he did not accept it, because the Georgia rules have not been finalized. “We’ll see. As far as I’m concerned, it’s an open question,” he said.
Larry Cohen, an ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders who served as vice chair of the party reform effort after the 2016 election, said in a statement that nothing had changed to erode the reforms meant to keep party leaders from potentially overruling the will of voters on the convention’s first ballot.
