Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed the possibility of replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
Biden is facing calls from many Democrats to step aside following a poorly received debate performance against former President Donald Trump on Thursday night. Biden's voice sounded hoarse, and he mumbled throughout many of his answers, doing little to dispel concerns about his age among swing voters as Trump was widely perceived as having more energy throughout the night.
Biden's debate performance sent Democrats into a panic as they fear he may not be a strong candidate to go against Trump in the November election. Many Democrats are now saying he should be replaced ahead of the Democratic convention scheduled for August.

I would think Jr would split the Biden vote assuring Trump an easy win.
Nahh
RFK is not the path out of this.
Leave him alone.
If he takes Biden’s place he’ll finally get Secret Service protection!
I wish I had Trump’s ear for a few seconds. If I did I would suggest he host a one on one debate or townhall with RFK on his own dime on Fox News or Joe Rogan.
I wonder if some of our FReeper scholars steeped in election law can answer this:
Candidate Biden is indeed on the ballot in all 50 states and DC. Candidate Kennedy
Is only on the ballot in 18 states and specifically NOT on the ballot in GA, WI and AZ (I think).
Even if Candidate Kennedy replaces Candidate Biden at the August DNC convention,
will candidate Kennedy not also be limited to the 18 states where he is legally allowed to compete?
Biden’s voice sounded hoarse during the debate, so they are going to replace him with RFK Jr. Got it.
