Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. says his path to the presidency only requires him to get 33% of the vote, something he says is achievable, partly because of his support from young voters.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has revealed what he says is his path to the White House as he faces increased pressure from the Biden and Trump campaigns targeting what some have described as his 'spoiler' candidacy. 'All we need to do is get to 33% to win the election,' Kennedy told Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo last week on his show 'World Over,' which appears on EWTN Global Catholic Network. 'You don't need 50%.
Kennedy told Arroyo he was already close to that 33% 'in a bunch of states,' appearing to cite internal polling, and argued he has an advantage over President Biden and former President Donald Trump when it came to young voters. According to a number of recent public polls, Kennedy is polling better than any third-party candidate has since Texas businessman Ross Perot's back-to-back White House runs in the 1990s, and is doing particularly well with voters under the age of 35.
The same poll taken last fall showed Kennedy leading Trump and Biden with voters aged 18-34, getting 39% to their 27% and 32% respectively. However, that poll did not include West and Stein. One former Bernie Sanders pollster, Ben Tulchin, recently sounded the alarm over Kennedy pulling so much young support from Biden.
To prevent that from happening, the Democratic National Committee launched an effort to silence the threat to Biden's re-election from third-party candidates, namely Kennedy, in the form of a team that is expected to actively combat them with legal challenges and opposition research.
