President Joe Biden’s first press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (I) are a “huge, huge, huge problem” for President Biden’s reelection campaign.
“If you look at RFK Jr., it’s the name recognition issue,” Psaki said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” noting that the Kennedy name was particularly loved in Georgia, which is a key battleground state in Biden’s rematch with former President Trump.
Psaki said too many votes “may just not know a lot about the fact that he is an anti-vaxxer, who’s a conspiracy theorist.”
“But it needs to be broad, people need to be shouting it from the rooftops because this is one of the biggest threats to Joe Biden being reelected, is these third party candidates,” she said.
According to a recent The Hill/Decision Desk HQ poll, Kennedy is currently trailing Biden and Trump by around 30 points nationally, at 10.8 percent. Trump is currently sitting at 41.1 percent and Biden is at 38.6 percent.
However, without Kennedy in the running, the race is closer with Trump at 44.6 percent versus Biden at 43.6 percent.
