Will be funny if he and trump both get more votes than Biden.

I love it. How do the general debates work, I'm not quite sure. Do you need a certain poll%?

I think he steals votes from both sides that don't want to vote for either Trump or Biden. I think the number of people like that is yuge.

Things are going to be interesting.

I don't know if it would be enough to win. The question would be who does he siphon more votes off of

If he survives until the election this will split the Dem vote.

I think each debate makes their own polls. Only time I remember a 3rd party (ind) involved was Perot.

I think he'll siphon off more from Biden. Most republican voters who want an alternative to Trump are looking for more conservative candidates, like DeSantis or Haley, who are notably more conservative than Trump. They would not look to RFK Jr. Parts of his platform are typical leftist BS.

The Kennedy family is historically 100% Democrats; not sure how much his Catholic religion plays with voters.

We’re gonna have four candidates with a decent nationwide following. Trump, GOPe’s favorite RINO of the month (I’d say Haley), Biden or other other Democrat elite (Gavin, Kamala, Michelle Obama), and Kennedy.
