Concern Grows Over Third Party Challengers to Biden’s Reelection
This past weekend, anxiety within the Democratic Party intensified regarding potential third-party challengers Robert Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson and their impact on President Biden’s reelection prospects. Recent reports suggest that RFK Jr.’s controversial statements could significantly hurt Biden’s campaign.
Disturbing Claims from Robert Kennedy Jr.
According to the New York Post, Kennedy has been spreading alarming and unfounded claims about COVID-19. He suggested that the virus may be “ethnically targeted,” further contending that “the people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” He ominously added, “We don’t know whether it’s deliberately targeted that or not,” implying a conspiracy of sorts involving the Chinese government.
“COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese. We do know that the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing ethno-bioweapons.”
This assertion has been widely discredited, as numerous individuals from both the Ashkenazi Jewish and Asian communities have suffered greatly from COVID-19. However, despite the bizarre nature of his commentary, Kennedy remains in double digits in polling among Democrats, largely due to name recognition.
The Democratic Party’s Response
It is essential to note that Kennedy’s rhetoric does not align with the core values of the Democratic Party. His own family has not come out in support of his run, demonstrating a lack of consensus among even those closest to him. As one congresswoman stated, the surge in fundraising for Biden’s campaign is a strong indication of the confidence within the party. Biden’s supporters believe that as voters become more familiar with Kennedy’s statements, his numbers are likely to dwindle.
The Landscape of the 2024 Election
As we look forward to the 2024 election, it’s clear that the issues at play are broader than just candidate personalities. Significant legislation and cultural battles are emerging, especially concerning civil rights and anti-LGBTQ stances. This environment, often termed “culture wars,” is a critical component of the upcoming political landscape.
Fundraising Strength Amid Low Approval Ratings
Despite Biden’s lower approval ratings, his fundraising efforts indicate strong support. Observers suggest that Republicans should be wary; if they nominate someone like Donald Trump, Biden could very well secure a second term. Yet, a different Republican candidate could pose a legitimate threat to Biden’s reelection.
Concluding Thoughts
Many express skepticism about Kennedy gaining any substantial traction, viewing his rhetoric as divisive and counterproductive. The prevailing sentiment leans towards confidence in a potential rematch between Biden and Trump, with expectations that President Biden will ultimately prevail.

How did that claim that people should not be underestimating President Biden work out? Came back to look at this after seeing these remarks mentioned in RFK's hearing before congress. This is funny knowing what we know today.
Watching this in 2025 is hilarious. aged like milk

The youtube cpmmenters respond to "deranged" and "nauseating" comments by CNN
RFKjr id the wetdream for the new ager love and light left. Same gullible group as alrt right
It’s also pretty amusing how before they start the hit they say “he could hurt Biden’s chances” and then they go into the hit. At least they are honest about their agenda
LOL I love almost everything about RFK. But how CNN feels about him is how I know he is the GOAT.
🇺🇸vote for Robert F❤Kennedy🤍Jr 💙 President 🇺🇸
2024🇺🇸
What kennedy said needs to be EXAMINED. ARE CHINESE and Askenazi jews related to the KHAZARS.
CNN the corporate whore mouthpiece for those on the left side of the Duopoly.
CNN is destroying America with truth liberal propaganda
We hope Biden is NOT re-elected. He’s been a disaster.
RFK2024. Vote and send a message regardless!
Democrats “if we could just jail Trump, arrest all MAGA supporters, end the electoral collage, stack the Supreme Court, and ban voter ID laws, we can save democracy!”
His numbers haven’t fallen 😅
The mainstream media refuses to cover RFK. He is on the ballot in at least 6 states and more to come.
The best way to support RFK is to share him with people who may not even know he’s running. Especially people age 50 and over. This is the group that gets their news from the mainstream media and it is biased.
CNN is a joke, the more Jake Tapper hates on RFK Jr the more people want to vote for him. Kennedy 2024!
FAKE CRAPPER IS A TRAITOR. PERIOD.
What a bunch of silly little fools, trying to control the public with their lies and twisting.
Let’s all surprise the World and convince someone you know to vote for RFK over Trump , it will be he only way we can win. Let’s go RFK
lol. Kennedy is gonna sink the Republican democrat ships. People in this country are so sick of partisan politics. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING EVER GETS ACCOMPLISHED. except more mud slinging. It’s all about the money and the one up game. The buck STOPS WITH RFK
Kennedy is the only qualified candidate 2024. He works FOR THE PEOPLE not the system.
Everybody whether you agree with him or not google “New insights into genetic susceptibility of COVID-19: an ACE2 and TMPRSS2 polymorphism analysis” and form your own educated opinion
He wants to study vaccines like we do with other drugs. As a PharmD I can tell you this is a good thing not a bad thing. This will guarantee that what we get is safe and stays protecting us from COVID.
Having seen CNN notoriously take video snippets out of context, trim the video way too short so the real contextual point could be realized, it makes me wonder what the surrounding context is to RFK Jr's comments.
CNN is a disgusting "news" outlet that is really a misinformation outlet and propaganda machine.
cnn,fox,cbs,abc,nbc…why watch comedy when american news is so funny…you can tell who owns these so called talking heads…good thing they pay you well..
