James Carville argued that independent candidate and conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. s campaign could be bad news for former President Donald Trump in November.
I actually think Bobby Kennedy might hurt Trump more than he hurts Biden , the longtime Democratic strategist said in an appearance on MSNBC s The Beat with Ari Melber on Thursday.
Melber pointed to a Politico Playbook entry that described people agreeing that Kennedy is a spoiler but they dont quite agree on is whose campaign his candidacy is spoiling.
Kennedy, in a speech in which he named attorney Nicole Shanahan his vice presidential pick this week, called himself a spoiler for President Biden and for President Trump.
The conspiracy theorist is averaging over 12% in national polls, according to RealClearPolling .
Carville argued that a certain percentage of people in the country are going Just F the whole thing toward the election.
And Biden is not gonna get any of the F it all vote, OK? the Democratic strategist said.
Now what worries me is Cornel West and Jill Stein cause theyre going to get some of the F it all vote, too.
He later added that the big question is the No Labels candidate as the third-party group looks to find its presidential candidate.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie , an ex-Trump ally turned harsh critic who ripped the former president during his failed 2024 GOP bid, announced that he wont run as a third-party candidate with No Labels on Wednesday.
Carville said, I think No Labels with certain candidates would help Donald Trump pretty clearly, yes.
