Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., won’t be with his better-known rivals when they debate Thursday in Atlanta. And aside from a livestreamed response to the debate, he also has nothing on his public schedule for the coming weeks. After a busy spring hopscotching the country, Kennedy appears to be taking a breather.

Supporters of Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. protest outside the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif., Friday, June 21, 2024. Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company, plans to relocate to its Burbank studios. Host network CNN said Thursday the independent presidential candidate fell short of benchmarks both for state ballot qualification and polling. The missed markers mean the June 27 showdown will be solely between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump .

The Associated Press is the most trusted source of information on election night, with a history of accuracy dating to 1848.“Mr. Kennedy has a full schedule for July with many public events, mostly on the East Coast and including one big rally,” said Stefanie Spear, a Kennedy campaign spokesperson. “We will start announcing the events next week.

Still, Desai said he won’t be dissuaded from voting for Kennedy even if he appears to be a longshot come November. Christy Jones, 54, a holistic health and mindfulness coach from Glendora, California, worries people won’t know Kennedy is running without him standing next to Biden and Trump at the debate. But she said he’s still all over her social media feeds and she’s confident he’s making himself visible.
