2024 independent hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took The New York Times to task over their coverage of him as a 'spoiler' in the upcoming presidential election.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had a heated exchange with The New York Times, declaring the paper to be an 'instrument of the Democratic Party' after repeatedly labeling him a 'spoiler' in the 2024 election.
The reason that we have pressured Democrats about the way that they set up Biden and about Republicans about the way that they set up Trump is because of that very fact, because of the fact that most Americans do not want these two options,' Herndon responded. 'The New York Times… is essentially an instrument of the Democratic Party,' Kennedy snapped. 'I understand you're making an institutional argument,' Herndon said.
The RealClearPolitics average has Kennedy reaching 15% in national polls in a three-way race against Biden and Trump, with the former president ahead of his 2020 rival by 4 points. A five-way race including independent candidate Cornel West and Green Party candidate Jill Stein has Kennedy's support at 11%, with Trump having a 2-point advantage over Biden.
