Former Clinton Pollster Rips Dems For Trying To ‘Knock Off’ RFK Jr From Ballot

Former Bill Clinton pollster Mark Penn criticized Democrats on Friday for trying to thwart former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy’s efforts to get on the ballot prior to his endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
