Citing polls by Fox News and Rasmussen, a Washington Free Beacon story pointed out Biden’s challenger is pulling double-digit support among Democrat voters while Biden has terrible approval ratings.
Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, says Democrats are faced with an ailing president who is declining right in front of their eyes and a “truth-telling alternative” in Kennedy Jr.
“What to do with someone who actually has name I.D., even if it's just last-name I.D.,” he observes. “And there's kind of some sizzle a little bit.”
Kennedy Jr., who is 69, is son of the former U.S. attorney general and nephew of the late Democrat president.
Kennedy has become famous for ripping “Big Pharma” and vaccinations, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. He also openly blames the CIA for killing his uncle in Dallas.
It is obvious Robert Kennedy is a “huge problem” for President Biden and the Democratic Party, predicts Gary Bauer, who leads the Campaign for Working Families.
“In his own way,” Bauer tells AFN, “Robert Kennedy Jr. is evidence of this populism that Trump represents in the Republican Party.”
Republicans witnessed that populism during the summer of 2016, when Trump’s unconventional and controversial campaign style left fellow GOP candidates speechless and unable to fight back. Among Democrats, they are comparing Kennedy Jr. to Ron Paul and his criticism of the political establishment.
Even though hit pieces against Kennedy are popping up in The New York Times and The Washington Post, Bauer suspects Democrats similarly don’t know how to push back against Kennedy yet.
“They know this is a huge issue,” he advises, “and at this point it’s very hard to predict how [Kennedy] will affect the overall outcome.”
