Perot 2.0? Debate arises over RobertKennedyJr's viability if he left the Democratic contest
Fox News anchors Martha MacCallum and Dana Perino discuss Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s campaign on 'The Story.'
Until 2020, when Donald Trump lost to President Biden, the elder Bush's loss was the last occurrence of an incumbent failing to win reelection to the White House, a feature that led many to believe Perot essentially played spoiler to Bush. On"The Story," anchor Martha MacCallum played clips of podcasts Kennedy has joined, noting the candidate has explicitly drawn parallels between his embrace of the growing medium and his uncle President John F. Kennedy's embrace of then-novel television in 1960.
"I think that the Democrats on the Biden campaign side have basically thought, ‘well, [Kennedy’s bid] is just a lark'. They've ignored him until it started to grow a little bit," she said. She noted Kennedy had told Rogan that his campaign is more about"bringing those two groups together – the left and the right – into a populist movement."
