RFK Jr. misses deadline to join Biden-Trump debate next week
WASHINGTON -Independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is unlikely to participate in 2024's first U.S. presidential debate after missing a deadline to meet criteria set by hosting news organization CNN.) and host of the June 27 debate, said only President Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump had met its conditions to take part ahead of a 12 a.m. ET Thursday deadline.
Kennedy had received at least 15% in only three accepted polls to date and, by CNN's tally, had qualified for the ballot in just six states. That would not be enough to win the presidency. "If the debate goes forward without Mr. Kennedy, the Kennedy campaign intends to pursue this issue for as long as it takes to obtain justice against these illegal acts," the campaign said in a statement on Thursday.
