Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Could Swing the Election. Who Should Be More Worried—Biden or Trump?
About this episode
<p>When Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., appeared on this show back in July, it was early in his run for President, and he was considered a fringe candidate. He had the name recognition, obviously, and not much else. Now the question seems to be not whether Kennedy is going to be a spoiler in the election but which side he’s more likely to spoil. On <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/political-scene">The Political Scene</a>, the <i>New Yorker</i> podcast, Washington correspondents Jane Mayer, Evan Osnos, and Susan B. Glasser gather to talk about Kennedy’s candidacy and his potential impact. “He’s not a serious threat in terms of being able to win,” Mayer says, “but he is potentially a serious threat in being able to spoil this election for one side or the other.” </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
