Kennedy Jr. is pitching Republican voters to support his independent presidential bid by arguing that <strong><em>Kennedy will help Donald Trump defeat Joe Biden if he\u2019s on the ballot in New York.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita Palma, the Kennedy campaign\u2019s state director in New York,<strong><em> has repeatedly made the case, including in a meeting with Empire State Republicans, that efforts to put Kennedy on the ballot in New York will help \u201cget rid of Biden,\u201d which she called her \u201cNo. 1 priority,\u201d <\/em><\/strong>and make it easier for Trump to win the historically Democratic state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cJust because you sign a petition to get him on the ballot, you can vote how you like on November 6. We\u2019re just spicing up the election. We\u2019re just making it more interesting, giving us more choices, supporting the democratic process and eventually<strong><em> hopefully getting rid of Joe Biden out of the deep-blue states,\u201d Palma said.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At one point in her presentation, Palma recommended members of the audience who support the former president to volunteer with the Trump campaign in battleground Pennsylvania.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The messaging from a Kennedy campaign field organizer reinforces the campaign\u2019s frequent attacks on Biden while providing new insight into how it may be looking to attract support from Republicans. Kennedy frequently criticizes Biden on a wide range of issues and recently argued that Biden is a greater threat to democracy than Trump, citing Kennedy\u2019s own suspension from some social media platforms during the Biden administration as evidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, in response to a bombshell report that Kennedy\u2019s New York State Director was caught on tape \u2013 now deleted on YouTube \u2013 discussing the campaign\u2019s top goal of \u201cblocking Biden from winning the presidency,\u201d DNC Spokesperson Matt Corridoni said the following:&nbsp; \u201cRFK Jr.\u2019s campaign is saying the quiet part out loud: he is a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":263,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1030592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
