RFK Jr.’s Campaign Struggles as Focus Narrows on Trump, Harris

It’s hard for some to remember there are three candidates running for president  — just ask Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The independent candidate’s campaign seems to be faltering since Vice President Harris came into the picture, The Hill reported. 

Kennedy has experienced financial woes as well as ballot-access concerns as former President Donald Trump, on the Republican ticket, and Vice President Kamala, the presumptive Democratic nominee, have garnered most of the media’s attention recently.

Another bad sign is Kennedy’s critics not talking about him, sparking thoughts they do not view him as much of a threat.

“He is a dysfunctional candidate,” Michael Ceraso, a Democratic campaign strategist, said.

Cerasco added there are some outside things that have harmed Kennedy in the last few weeks. 

“The youth movement behind Gaza took a back seat to a terrible debate performance by the president, the assassination attempt of a former president, Dems turning on Biden,” Ceraso said. “RFK is irrelevant to all of this.”

Part of Kennedy’s campaign hinged on his dissatisfaction with Trump and President Joe Biden. Now that Biden is no longer in the race, that part of his argument is moot.

Kennedy’s focus has mostly been on Biden. Recently, he made headlines after a call was leaked where he appeared to agree with Trump about his chances for success in November. 

“That RFK Jr. was engaging in the same backroom political deals that he claims to despise shows that he knows his spoiler candidacy isn’t going to land him in the White House,” Matt Corridoni, a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee, (DNC) said. 

Kennedy has also not attacked Harris as much as he did Biden.

In a press conference immediately after Biden dropped out, Kennedy focused on criticizing Biden.

“His share of the vote has been declining, probably because Harris has picked up some of the wavering Dems who were in the Kennedy column,” said Kyle Kondik.

Kondik is a polling expert who analyzes factors affecting candidate performance in elections.

“He has been polling only in the mid-single digits in several recent national polls,” he said.
