The Democratic Party, concerned about presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being a spoiler in the November election, tried Tuesday to discredit him.
The Democratic National Committee held a press call that included elected officials like Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who said RFK Jr. “is Donald Trump with a Kennedy name slapped on him.”
“There is absolutely no path for Kennedy to become president — and he knows that, that is why he picked a VP ... who can buy his way onto the ballot in a number of states," she said, according to CNN.
Kennedy on Tuesday announced his vice presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, 38. She is a Democratic donor, political novice, lawyer and tech entrepreneur who has focused on health and environmental research. She was previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
