RFK Jr. to host his own debate live during Trump-Biden debate.
Why the Kennedys endorsed Biden over RFK Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to respond to the Trump-Biden debate Thursday night in real time, in what his campaign is calling “The Real Debate.”
CNN has excluded RFK Jr. from the debate, determining he doesn’t meet criteria including a polling threshold and appearance on a sufficient number of states’ ballots to win the presidency. Kennedy and his team argue that former President Donald Trump and President Biden aren’t yet on any ballots, since the Republican National Convention and Democratic National Convention haven’t yet taken place.
Kennedy’s campaign filed a complaint last month with the Federal Election Commission accusing CNN, Mr. Biden, Trump and their campaigns of violating federal election law.
“CNN is making prohibited corporate contributions to both campaigns and the Biden committee and the Trump committee have accepted these prohibited corporate contributions,” the complaint said.
The Kennedy campaign hasn’t given many details on how his solo debate will unfold but says it will be streamed on “X” and TheRealDebate.com from a studio in Los Angeles. Unlike the Trump-Biden debate, it will have a live audience. The Kennedy event will take place at 9 p.m. Thursday, the same time as the Trump-Biden debate.
Earlier this week, in a video posted to Twitter, one of Kennedy’s sons described his father’s debate plan, saying Kennedy would “have the other two candidates up there as well, saying what they say live, and then we’re gonna give my dad a chance to respond, live.”
Trump and Mr. Biden are debating in Atlanta beginning at 9 p.m. Thursday on CNN and streaming on CBSNews.com.
It is fascinating to see how the political landscape continues to evolve with each passing event. As we witness the exclusion of RFK Jr. from the upcoming debate, the Kennedys have made an interesting choice to endorse Biden over their own family member. This decision undoubtedly raises eyebrows and prompts questions about the dynamics at play.
One cannot help but wonder about the reasons behind such a move. Perhaps the Kennedys see more alignment with Biden’s policies and vision for the future. Or maybe there are personal factors at play that influenced their decision. Regardless, it is a decision that has sparked discussions and speculation across the political spectrum.
As we anticipate the “Real Debate” featuring RFK Jr., it will be interesting to observe how his responses resonate with viewers and how his perspectives differ from those of Trump and Biden. The live audience adds an element of unpredictability to the event, making it a must-watch for those interested in the political dynamics unfolding in the lead-up to the election.
With the Trump-Biden debate also taking place simultaneously, viewers will have a plethora of political insights to digest and analyze. The clash of ideas and ideologies promises to make Thursday night an eventful and thought-provoking affair for all those tuned in.
Stay tuned for the latest updates and analysis on the unfolding political drama. The Kennedys’ endorsement of Biden over RFK Jr. is just one chapter in the larger narrative that is shaping the upcoming election. As we delve deeper into the intricacies of these developments, one thing is certain – the world of politics never fails to surprise and intrigue us.
