RFK Jr. has consistently polled about 20-25% amongst probable Democratic voters vs. Joe Biden.
This is remarkable considering RFK Jr. has been basically ignored by the mainstream media, "de-platformed" so-to-speak by the powerful social media outfits such as Google (YouTube, Instagram) and Meta (Facebook), etc., and reviled by Party leaders. He has been called a kook, a science-denier, anti-vax, mask, what have you, and a traitor. And this man is a son and nephew of the two most revered Democrats of modern times!
Running in the Democrat primaries cannot help Joe Biden one inch.
In the primaries, RFK Jr. will wipe the floor with Biden winning younger voters, older, nostalgic Democrats, and the very, very, very few Democrats who have a sliver of common sense and realizes Biden is a mistake and a stain on the Democrat Party and the country.
So, it is quite possible those faceless, nameless true power brokers and insiders that 'run' politics, big business and many other institutions, visited RFK Jr. and asked him to respect the memory of his father and uncle and NOT run as a Democrat but as an Independent.
By running as an Independent there will no head-to-head polling vs. Biden. If he hurts Biden or Trump in the general really isn't the main issue as I see it.
But, if he can get an acceptable conservative Republican to run with him as Veep, then that ticket will hurt both Biden and Trump. Did anyone just say "No Labels"?
