"Strategizing to Prevent RFK Jr. from Spoiling the Election"

President Biden's Democratic allies are mobilizing to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential bid, fearing he could spoil the election for Democrats. The DNC has hired attorneys to monitor Kennedy's efforts to get on key battleground state ballots and is working to paint him as a radical conspiracy theorist. Kennedy's current double-digit standing in polls could swing outcomes in battleground states, and Democrats are concerned about a repeat of past election spoilers. Trump's allies believe independent or third-party candidates help his chances and are seeking to elevate their campaigns. Kennedy's campaign claims to be a spoiler for both Biden and Trump, while Democrats are focused on defining him to prevent him from siphoning votes from Biden.
