Robert F. Kennedy Junior's presidential run is making waves in the national polls, where he's scoring in the low teens, a notable achievement for a third-party candidate. His campaign, distinct from his father's and uncles' previous bids for the presidency, aims to appeal to Americans disillusioned with the current system, positioning himself against both major party candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Kennedy's platform is gaining attention for offering an alternative to voters who are reluctant to choose between the two main candidates. However, concerns are rising that his candidacy might inadvertently benefit Trump by splitting the vote, which could have significant implications for the 2024 election outcome. Additionally, Kennedy has been denied Secret Service protection five times, despite the considerable expenses incurred for Hunter Biden's security, exceeding $4.5 MILLION, with agents staying in a $30,000-a-month villa. His stance on vaccine hesitancy, particularly regarding measles, has also drawn criticism, likening him to figures such as Trump and Bolsonaro. Senators from both parties have expressed concern over Kennedy's potential to act as a spoiler in the election, with Democrats particularly worried about the impact on their chances.
