Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

RFK Jr, like the other third party candidates, is running as a spoiler to help Trump — his staff have even said so:

The only way that Trump can even, remote possibility of taking New York is if Bobby is on the ballot. If it’s Trump vs. Biden, Biden wins. Biden wins six days, seven days a week. With Bobby in the mix, anything can happen

    It will take more than a handful to flip NYS. Biden won last time by just under 2 million votes

      Despite that one staffer’s bombast, the place where RFK Jr matters is probably in the swing states, rather than NY. Siphoning off a percentage point more Biden voters than Trump voters in one of those would have a pretty meaningful impact.
