Robert F Kennedy Jr Presents ‘No Spoiler Pact’

Summary: In a recent speech, RFK Jr. introduced a "no spoiler" pact, aimed at ensuring a fair presidential race. He discussed poll results indicating that his presence in the race does not spoil the chances for President Biden against President Trump. Instead, the polls suggest that RFK Jr. performs better against Trump than Biden does. To address concerns of being a spoiler, RFK Jr. proposed a pact where both he and Biden would co-fund a 50-state poll in October 2024 to determine who has a better chance against Trump. The candidate who performs worse in this head-to-head matchup would agree to withdraw from the race. This initiative, according to RFK Jr., is designed to allow Americans to vote out of hope rather than fear, aiming to reduce national division and polarization.

Conditions of the No Spoiler Pact:

  • Both parties agree to co-fund a 50-state poll in mid-October 2024 of 30,000+ likely voters

  • The survey will test the results of a head-to-head race pitting President Biden against President Trump and a second head-to-head race pitting Mr. Kennedy against President Trump.

  • Both parties pledge that whomever performs weakest against President Trump in a two-man contest will drop out of the presidential race.
