"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.

RFK Jr. Secures Ballot Spot in North Carolina

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign has qualified for the ballot in North Carolina, adding to the list of battleground states where he will be a White House contender through the "We The People" party. With 23,000 pledges of support, the independent candidate's team is focusing on swing states like North Carolina, which Trump won by a slim margin in 2020. Kennedy has also qualified in Utah, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and Nevada, where he may need to regather signatures due to a vice-presidential requirement.
