The 2024 presidential election is heating up as independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. gains momentum, causing concern among Democrats who fear he could be a threat to President Biden’s re-election bid.
Kennedy recently revealed his strategy to win the White House, stating that all he needs is to reach 33% of the vote to secure victory in the three-way race. With polling data showing him polling better than any third-party candidate since Ross Perot in the 1990s, Kennedy is particularly popular among young voters, a demographic where he outperforms both Biden and Trump.
However, this surge in support has raised alarms among Democratic strategists, with one former Bernie Sanders pollster warning that Kennedy’s appeal to young and Latino voters could hurt Biden’s chances of winning re-election. To counter this threat, the Democratic National Committee has launched a campaign to combat third-party candidates like Kennedy, using legal challenges and opposition research.
On the other side, both Trump and Biden have taken aim at Kennedy, with Trump calling him a “wasted protest vote” and Biden snubbing him in favor of six members of Kennedy’s own family who endorsed the president.
As the 2024 campaign trail heats up, all eyes are on Kennedy and his potential impact on the race. Stay tuned for more updates and exclusive interviews on the Fox News Digital election hub.
