The Potential Impact of RFK Jr. in the 2020 Election
The presence of RFK Jr. in the upcoming election has both Democrats and Republicans concerned. He appeals to a cross-section of Americans who are disillusioned with politics and drawn to conspiracy theories. The Republicans already see him as a potential threat and fear his impact as a challenger. Democrats also fear him as a third-party candidate, knowing that the incumbent has more to lose in that scenario. While getting on the ballot in all 50 states is a challenge, even influencing votes in critical swing states could make him a spoiler. Both parties worry that he could sway the election results in his favor.
