Trump says RFK is a Democrat supporter and wasted votes.

Former President Donald Trump has recently taken a strong stance against independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing him of being a Democratic Party “plant.” Trump made these allegations on Friday night via his new social media platform, Truth Social.

According to Trump, RFK Jr. is a “Democrat ‘Plant,’” a left-wing liberal who has been strategically positioned to assist President Joe Biden in getting re-elected. Trump went on to describe Kennedy as “totally Anti-Gun,” an extreme environmentalist, a supporter of open borders, and someone who is against the military and veterans. In Trump’s eyes, a vote for RFK Jr. would be a wasted protest vote that could potentially benefit the Democrats if Republicans were aware of the truth about him.

On the other side, Democratic leaders are also expressing concerns about RFK Jr.’s campaign, fearing that he could draw votes away from Biden and potentially lead to a victory for Trump. This concern was highlighted when several members of the Kennedy family, including RFK Jr.’s sister Kerry Kennedy, publicly endorsed Biden at an event in Philadelphia.

Last month, the Democratic National Committee took action to counter the threat posed by third-party candidates like Kennedy to Biden’s re-election campaign. They formed a team dedicated to challenging and researching opposition to these candidates, with a specific focus on RFK Jr. The team has continuously criticized Kennedy on social media, labeling him as a “spoiler” candidate and alleging that he is working in collaboration with Trump.

The ongoing clash between Trump and RFK Jr., along with the concerns from Democratic leaders, has added a new layer of complexity to the upcoming presidential race. With both parties keeping a close eye on the independent candidate, the stakes continue to rise as the battle for the White House intensifies.
