Are Democrats Afraid Of The Rise Of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

Share

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is gaining lots of attention and momentum as we inch closer to the 2024 election.

GALLAGHER: They are worried about RFK Jr. I have a clip from Chris Stirewalt on NewsNation last night suggesting that a lot of Trump supporters would like RFK Jr. Here is what he said last night.

STIREWALT: Certainly there are some ways here for him to get in the race and cause some problems. And I don’t want to pretend that there aren’t any Democrats, especially of sort of the Bernie Sanders variety, that aren’t drawn to sort of an anti-establishment and angry populist outside message who’s frustrated with the way things are. It’s not saying there aren’t any Democrats, but I think you have hit it exactly right. The number — the place where I see Kennedy having room to grow is actually among Republicans and among MAGA Republicans, populist left and populist right, but particularly for older voters who are disaffected and frustrated and prone to think that there is a conspiracy arrayed against them, he is that candidate. And what I would love to know is, how would he pull if he were running as a Republican, number one? And number two, in a three-way race with Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if RFK Jr. Were running as an independent, how would he poll there?

GALLAGHER: Are you a fan of RFK Jr.? He is very unorthodox. He is very anti vaccine and has been for years. For many people, the vaccine is a crucial crucial issue for the American people to grapple with. Here is Charlie Hurt expanding a bit on his view of RFK Jr. last night on Hannity.

HURT: It’d be so much easier if they could just sort of take Joe Biden out with the garbage and replace him and a backup who was competent, but I think quite frankly, Kamala Harris would probably do even worse in a general or even a primary fight,” Hurt said. “And of course, this is why I think Democrats are so terrified of the rise of RFK, who’s thrown his hat in the ring and then instantly winds up with double-digit, 20% of the vote among Democrats, and probably would pick up a lot of independents and moderates as well if he were to run, say a third party campaign or something like that.
