Impact of Kennedy's Independent Run on Biden's Reelection Chances

Recent discussions have arisen around the potential impact of Robert Kennedy Jr.'s independent run on Joe Biden's chance of reelection. While some believe that Kennedy's run would draw Democratic voters away from Biden, polling data suggests otherwise. In fact, Nate Silver and a survey by John Zogby Strategies found that Kennedy's run could actually hurt Trump more than Biden. Kennedy's positions, such as opposition to big pharma and support for decentralized cryptocurrency, align more closely with conservative values, leading some MAGA supporters to express support for him. However, it is important to note that Kennedy's initial surge in popularity in the Democratic primary was largely due to name recognition and not necessarily support for his specific policies. As the campaign progressed, his support among Democrats waned significantly.
