President Kerry Kennedy has dismissed his brother Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bid to run as an independent presidential candidate, insisting it is clear that only President Biden or former President Trump can secure the Oval Office in November. There is.
Speaking with CNN anchor John King on Thursday night, Kennedy pointed out that when asked about his brother’s candidacy, he only mentions Trump and Biden.
When King asked if he thought his brother would make a good president, Kennedy replied:
“Because only two people can get 270 votes in the Electoral College. So let’s talk about reality. Let’s stop talking about who may or may not become president. Today’s question is… If you go to the polls, who will you vote for?” she continued.
Her remarks came hours after she appeared at a Biden campaign rally in Philadelphia with the president and other members of the Kennedy family.
Kerry Kennedy and more than a dozen other family members formally endorsed Biden for re-election Thursday, praising his policies and political career for aligning with his father’s.
Kelly argued that his brother’s solo candidacy would only help elect Trump, calling his brother’s election “dangerous” to the country.
“This is an unusual election. We are on the precipice here in the United States,” President Kennedy said Thursday. “There are only two candidates praying to win the 270 electoral votes needed to become president. One is Trump and the other is Biden.”
Kelly paints a dark picture of President Trump, claims he wants to “rewrite the Constitution” to target enemies, and comments Trump made about being a dictator on his first day back in the White House He pointed out that.
Kennedy Jr. acknowledged that his family supports political opponents in “X,” writing: “Today I hear that some members of my family support President Biden. I’m glad they’re politically active. It’s a family tradition. We have different opinions, but we support each other. We are united in our love.”
Kennedy Jr., who switched from being a Democrat to being an independent last fall, has repeatedly argued that both Biden and Trump are worthy of continuing in office.
Democrats have expressed concern that running alone could draw votes away from Biden in what is expected to be a close election in November.
Decision Desk Headquarters/The Hill national polling index for the three-way race between Biden, Trump and Kennedy Jr. shows Trump leading Biden by less than 1 percentage point, with Kennedy Jr. The rate is close to 7%.
