Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

RFK Jr, like the other third party candidates, is running as a spoiler to help Trump — his staff have even said so:

The only way that Trump can even, remote possibility of taking New York is if Bobby is on the ballot. If it’s Trump vs. Biden, Biden wins. Biden wins six days, seven days a week. With Bobby in the mix, anything can happen

      This has always been my take on him. He’s basically a Republican but too chicken shit to challenge Trump for the GOP nomination directly so instead he’s running as a Democrat. The reality is he never stood a chance in either party, the GOP because Trump has cornered the market for gullible idiots, and the DNC because he’s blatantly conservative.

        He’s not even running as a Democrat. Once it became clear that Biden was going to get 80%+ of the vote in the Democratic primary, RFK Jr decided to run as an independent, but to try and trade on his name, rather than run on the pro-measles positions he’s been pushing for the past couple decades.
