Third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making news with an offer to Biden that could influence the 2024 election, despite not making it to the CNN presidential debate stage.
In an interview that aired before Thursday’s debate between Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump, the scion of the Kennedy family’s political dynasty revealed that he made a deal with the elderly incumbent that he thinks has the best chance of keeping the former president from winning reelection.
As a “spoiler” who could prevent Biden from winning reelection by stealing liberal votes, RFK Jr. told Dr. Phil that he had offered a solution that would remove that risk, but it might come at a high price for the 81-year-old career politician.
According to the Daily Mail, he told Dr. Phil, “We will co-fund a survey together, the two of us, in October, and whoever is least likely to beat Donald Trump will quit.”
“Do you think he’ll accept that deal? I’m not a spoiler, though. A spoiler, according to Kennedy, is someone who is unable to win and chooses to remain inside, upsetting the expectations of those who can.
According to a poll by Zogby Strategies, which RFK Jr. referenced, Trump easily defeats Biden in a two-man race; in a head-to-head match, he narrowly wins, and in a two-way race, Kennedy easily wins by a wide margin.
In a May statement, Kennedy stated that “to be a spoiler, a candidate must fulfill two requirements: they must be capable of winning themselves, and by being in the election, they must stop someone else from winning.”
The lively 90-minute one-on-one with the adored talk show host touches on a variety of topics, including the growing threat of nuclear war between the United States and Russia over Ukraine—a situation that the Biden administration is heedlessly escalating.
The candidate compared today’s events to those of his late uncle, President John F. Kennedy, who died averting a nuclear exchange during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
“The military had already disobeyed my uncle’s order to remove the missiles.” He told McGraw, “My uncle and father struck a secret deal to move those missiles out as long as no one spoke about the deal.” This was during what is considered to be one of the riskiest periods in the history of the country.
He was concerned that as a result of Biden’s preparations with NATO, the United States might get “closer to a nuclear war than any time since 1962.”
Kennedy remarked, “It’s just the same as it was before World War I, individuals in offices sleepwalking us into a battle that we should have no part in.”
CNN and the incumbents blatantly disregarded millions of American voters’ wishes, as well as decades’ worth of democratic customs, by keeping me out of the discussion. Why? Do they fear that I might win the election? Kennedy, on X’s blog, urged readers to tune in to his substitute debate, dubbed the “genuine debate,” which will stream live during the widely watched CNN event.

The fact still remains only President Trump can get us out of this disaster we are in.RFK is almost as radical in his ideology as Biden is.He is anti gun and a green New scam supporter.
You’re right. RFK has nothing to offer except being a relative of JFK and Bobby Kennedy…but he’ll keep trying. Trump will be our next President no matter how many games they play.
RFK jr could prove to be a bigger Trojan Horse than O’Bamaj
Kennedy is only using his name to try to get into the white house and he would be worse than Biden if that’s possible
We need TRUMP he`s the only one that can get our Country out of all the mess that Biden has caused. He will get our Country back in order as he did before.
