Democrats are again worrying over a third-party presidential campaign, this one from a member of their own party.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was never welcomed by the Democratic camp, yet his pending switch from a Democratic to an independent presidential campaign could cause another headache for President Joe Biden.A campaign staffer told Mediaite that Kennedy's campaign will announce a party affiliation switch on Oct. 9 in Philadelphia.
"The people more likely to switch [to a third party] are less well educated, less interested in politics, not these upscale, socially liberal and fiscally conservative people," he said. Kennedy has pulled a surprising amount of polling support among Democrats, hitting 20% earlier this year according to the RealClearPolitics average, though that has fallen off in recent months. But his campaign argues that he's more popular with would-be Trump supporters, which may play into the decision to go independent.
