Recent polling shows Kennedy defeating both Biden and Trump in head-to-head matchups, positioning him as a formidable contender. As the first independent candidate to achieve this feat, Kennedy's campaign is poised to make history and shake up the political landscape.

CNN's New Debate Rules May Exclude RFK Jr. Despite Polling Eligibility In a concerning turn of events, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign faces potential exclusion from CNN's upcoming June 27 presidential debate due to shifting criteria. Despite qualifying in at least four recognized polls with 15% or more support, CNN is not counting one of these polls. Also, the network requires candidates to have their name on the ballot in states totaling 270 electoral votes, a requirement that Biden and Trump do not meet but CNN is nonetheless letting them skip this requirement. The Kennedy campaign has filed an FEC complaint alleging collusion, as these inconsistent standards unfairly target RFK Jr. This unprecedented situation makes clear the debate criteria were neither objective nor applied the same to all candidates.
