Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign manager insists the independent candidate is qualified for this week's presidential debate despite the fact that he did meet the criteria to appear on the stage.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks during the Libertarian National Convention at the Washington Hilton in Washington, Friday.
RFK Jr. met neither, and the campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission arguing that this week’s debate is illegal without his inclusion, even suggesting that CNN staffers could face prosecution if it were to happen.
Compounding the debate denial and the ballot access barriers, the campaign has been crunched for cash. Kennedy’s campaign manager attributed the decline to the state of the economy and said there are actually more donors to the campaign than ever.
