Robert F. Kennedy Jr. looks like he’s going to run as an independent. That’s bad news for Trump, but it also may be bad news for RFK Jr.
in the Democratic primary, Kennedy has made dystopian and conspiratorial critiques of the administration that disguise misinformation as populism in a way Trump could never pull off—at least under the right circumstances.
“If he wants to run, run. Fine,” the source close to the Trump campaign told The Daily Beast, requesting anonymity to speak candidly about a sensitive issue. “But if he chooses to run as an independent, then he’s our opponent.” “He’s not this centrist that he portrays himself to be,” the Trumpworld source continued, previewing how they might undercut Kennedy. “He’s a hardline Democrat on a bunch of major issues that run against the Republican Party and specifically MAGA Republicans.”, is “cashing in his old reputation for his new one,” a senior New Hampshire Democrat told The Daily Beast.
“Genuinely rational voters, even those who don’t love Biden, are not interested in injecting bleach into their veins,” the Democrat added, alluding to Trump’s infamous COVID press conference where he talked about wanting to “hit the body” with “very powerful light" and “disinfectant” by injection., he dipped slightly in the polls toward the end of August and beginning of September, recently climbing back to his ceiling of 15 percent.
Kennedy has focused his campaigning within the state. Along with his place in New England political royalty, that focus was thought to give him a shot to pick up a significant chunk of votes in an unrecognized primary—one in which, theoretically, Biden would not appear on the ballot.
