Democrats Fear Independent Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Impact on 2024 Election as Trump Accuses Him of Being Democratic Plant

Fox News national correspondent Bryan Llenas reported on the increasing momentum of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has become a cause for concern among Democratic leaders due to fears that his campaign could lead to former President Donald Trump’s victory in 2024. In response, Trump accused RFK Jr. Of being a “Democratic Party plant” and claimed that voting for him would be a wasted protest vote as it might swing either way but only against the Democrats if Republicans were aware of his true intentions. The former president criticized Kennedy’s record on Second Amendment rights, environmental issues, taxes, border security, and military support. Biden supporters from the Kennedy family publicly endorsed him during an event in Philadelphia last month, as half a dozen members appeared alongside President Joe Biden to voice their backing for his candidacy over RFK Jr.’s independent bid. The Democratic National Committee has launched efforts against third-party candidates like RFK Jr., forming teams to legally challenge them and launch opposition research campaigns, labeling Kennedy as a “spoiler” candidate in the process while suggesting that he is working with Trump behind closed doors.
