Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Claims Potential Win in Presidential Race Despite Polls

On a remarkable Sunday, April 28, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. presented a groundbreaking argument, asserting that he could achieve what no other third-party or independent candidate has ever come close to achieving in modern U.S. history - winning a presidential election. Despite trailing in the polls, both major-party campaigns, those of President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump, perceive Mr. Kennedy as a potential spoiler.

Addressing a rally on Long Island, just outside New York City, Mr. Kennedy pointed to polls conducted by his campaign, indicating that he could emerge victorious in two scenarios: one where he solely faced Mr. Biden without Mr. Trump in the race, and another where he competed against Mr. Trump without Mr. Biden.

Strategies and Challenges

Mr. Kennedy attributed his position in a three-way race to the fact that "so many Americans are voting out of fear." He accused Democrats of attempting to keep him off the ballot and stoke fear of Donald Trump among the electorate. Similarly, he criticized Republicans for employing the same tactic. He warned against succumbing to fear-based voting, emphasizing that it amounts to manipulation and entails abandoning one's values.
