Trump: Both Biden and RFK Jr. labeled as ‘Far Left’

Former President Donald Trump claimed that President Joe Biden is against including independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. in debates because both are considered “far left” and would be covering similar topics.

Trump and Biden have agreed to hold two campaign debates, with the first set for June 27 on CNN.

Biden’s campaign suggested excluding third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the debates.

Trump voiced his opinion on Truth Social, stating, “Crooked Joe Biden does not want RFK Jr. in the debates because Junior is far left like him and they would be debating over the same territory, like ridiculous Open Borders and the Green New Scam, both of which are killing our Country. He’s also sharper and far more intelligent than Joe, all making for a bad combination of ingredients.

“I don’t care if Junior joins the Debate, but right now his polling numbers are very low, he is not properly qualified in the States, and he seems to be on a downward path. Junior needs more than his name to get on the ‘stage!'”

Biden has announced that he will not participate in fall presidential debates sponsored by the nonpartisan commission that has organized them for over three decades.

According to the Commission on Presidential Debates rules, Kennedy or other third-party candidates could qualify if they met certain criteria including securing ballot access and polling at 15% or higher in national polls.

Kennedy Jr. criticized Biden and Trump for agreeing to debate without including him.

“Presidents Trump and Biden are conspiring to lock America into a head-to-head match-up that 70% say they do not want,” Kennedy wrote on X. “They are trying to exclude me from their debate, because they are afraid I would win. Keeping viable candidates off the debate stage undermines democracy.”
