RFK Jr., a third-party candidate, has sparked a significant reaction from both his supporters and detractors within the Democratic Party. He has openly stated his intention to 'hurt both' major candidates, drawing criticism and concern about potentially siphoning votes from Joe Biden. Critics, including some within the Democratic Party, compare his potential impact to Ross Perot's in 1992, but believe he will only cost Biden 'a few wealthy progressive votes.' The organic industry's support for RFK Jr. is noted, but skepticism remains about their customers' voting behavior. In response, the Democrats have mobilized Lis Smith to spearhead a campaign against RFK Jr., highlighting the seriousness with which they view his challenge. This campaign is noted to be backed by Trump donors, adding another layer of complexity to the political dynamics. Supporters of RFK Jr. are rallying against this move, calling for vigilance against the smear campaign led by Smith.
Calling on all @RobertKennedyJr supporters! Please follow @Lis_Smith, she has been put in charge of running the official smear campaign against Kennedy by the @TheDemocrats and #DNC. Let's keep her in check. #Kennedy24 #KennedyCurious

This is not Ross Perot ruining an election for Republicans in 1992, RFK Jr. is going to cost Biden only a few wealthy progressive votes. Sure, the organic industry loves him, but that doesn't mean their customers will waste a vote on him. https://t.co/qNVQLDXVKl

Don't know if it will work but Dems really do need to go completely scorched earth on RFK Jr. He is definitely pulls some Biden votes at the moment. I genuinely think people don't realize how much of an insane crank he is.
