RFK Jr.'s challenges Biden to drop out, insisting he has a better shot of defeating TrumpIndependent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks to supporters during a campaign event, Sunday, April 21, 2024, in Royal Oak, Mich. | AP Photo/Jose JuarezNEW YORK — Despite lagging some 30 points behind President Joe Biden in the latest polls, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy said he would be happy to make a similar appeal to the former president as well, but Trump “is not a spoiler because he can actually win.” Democratic National Committee spokesperson Matt Corridoni said Kenendy’s proposal to get Biden to drop out is “as deeply unserious his campaign is.” Fox Kennedy said calling on Biden to drop out of the race is fair because the DNC has also called on Kennedy to withdraw.Any hypothetical decision to drop out in October would be far too late to affect the election results — mail and early voting begins in some states as early as September — and would likely split the Democratic vote.
“I’m always talking to people on Instagram, and they say ‘he’s a spoiler,’ and they say ‘a vote for Kennedy is a vote for Trump,’” said Alexis Leyco, 28, of Queens. “I’m excited. I’m going to definitely use this.”
