Watch the DNC close ranks and prevent Biden being dethroned.... Just like it did for Hillary when Sanders challenged.
Robert F Kennedy Jr’s surging support unmasks Democrats’ disquiet at Joe Biden
Mr Kennedy Jr told The Telegraph: “I would not have run unless I had a reasonable expectation of winning.
“The speed at which our campaign has gained traction is a huge confirmation ... that America is ready for the vision and priorities that we are bringing into American politics.”
Mr Kennedy Jr’s poll numbers could be credited to his famous surname. Some pollsters argue his association with America’s most famous political dynasty has significantly inflated his numbers.
But his early traction is particularly alarming for the White House, given that Mr Kennedy Jr is a prominent vaccine sceptic who has often embraced conspiracy theories.
Asked about Mr Kennedy Jr’s challenge, Symone Sanders Townsend, a veteran of Mr Biden’s 2020 election campaign, said: “I’m trying not to laugh. There’s not going to be a challenge.”
“I really think the mealy-mouthed Democrats, as I like to call them, and some of their progressive friends who would like to live in a fantasy land need to come back to reality.”
