Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Demands Debate Stage Inclusion

A recent poll has shown that President Trump is leading Joe Biden by three points, with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in third place at 11 percent. Despite this showing, Biden has reportedly refused to allow Kennedy on the debate stage or provide him with Secret Service protection typically given to major presidential candidates. This decision has raised concerns given the tragic history of the Kennedy family, which has seen the assassinations of both Robert F. Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy.

In an exclusive interview on Sunday Morning Futures, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expressed his reaction to not being offered a place on the debate stage. Kennedy revealed that discussions are ongoing with the relevant authorities, who have outlined specific criteria for candidates to participate in the debates. Kennedy stated that he meets all the required criteria, including being on the ballots in enough states to secure 270 electoral votes by June 20th.
