Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an Independent candidate in the presidential race, is calling on Democrat President Joe Biden to drop out of the race, labeling him as a “spoiler.” Kennedy believes that polls show he has a better chance at defeating former President Donald Trump in the general election compared to Biden. This proposal for a “no spoiler pledge” would involve a 50-state poll to determine which candidate has a higher chance of beating Trump, with the less favorable candidate agreeing to withdraw from the race.
Kennedy’s campaign manager emphasized a scenario where Kennedy could beat Trump without any Democratic candidate in the race. Kennedy argues that he is not the spoiler, but rather, Biden’s candidacy would lead to a Trump victory. According to polling data, including Kennedy in the race pulls more support away from Biden in swing states compared to Trump. This has raised concerns among Democrats, with the Democratic National Committee referring to Kennedy as a spoiler and questioning the seriousness of his campaign.

It also exposes the uncertainty surrounding Biden’s ability to secure a victory against Trump. This situation emphasizes the need for a strong and united opposition to ensure a successful outcome in the upcoming presidential race.
