If, as many Democratic-leaning commentators insist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a bigger threat to Donald Trump to Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election . . . why did Biden hold an event with 15 members of the Kennedy family?
Kerry Kennedy declared, “nearly every single grandchild of Joe and Rose Kennedy supports Joe Biden.” Yes, nearly. Because we all know it’s hard for a Democratic incumbent president to win support among the Kennedy family.
Once again, polling indicates that Trump’s lead is a little larger (about a percentage point) when Kennedy, Jill Stein, and Cornel West are added as options. Kennedy picked a progressive Democratic donor, Nicole Shanahan, as his running mate. Allies of President Joe Biden are digging into Shanahan’s personal life. And allies of Donald Trump intend to tout Kennedy’s record to disaffected Democrats.
And now many members of the Kennedy family feel the need to tell Americans to vote for the Democrat, not to vote for the guy named Kennedy.
If Kennedy is such a threat to Trump’s chances, why are so many political professionals acting as though Kennedy is a bigger threat to Biden?
