False claims made about Stormy Daniels and The Trump hush money trial
Donald Trump’s hush money trial has spurred an array of false claims about Stormy Daniels, including one from Trump himself.
WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump is now going all-out against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., amid polls that indicate the independent candidate would take more votes from Trump than incumbent President Joe Biden.
RFK Jr. is a Democrat ‘Plant,’ a Radical Left Liberal,” Trump said in a three-part post on his Truth Social website late Friday.
“A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him,” Trump said.
Kennedy, who is seeking to get on the ballot in as many states as possible, has attacked Biden more than Trump. but told CNN this month that “there’s many things that President Trump has done that are appalling.”
Recent polls by Marist College and NBC News show Biden benefitting against Trump when other candidates are included on the ballot, including Kennedy and third-party aspirants Cornel West and Jill Stein.
“While Trump holds a 2-point edge over Biden head to head, Biden leads Trump by 2 points in a five-way ballot test including Kennedy and other third-party candidates,” NBC News reported.
Biden and his allies also remain wary of Kennedy, who once considered opposing the president in the Democratic primaries. Several members of the Kennedy family have endorsed Biden, describing their relative as nothing more than a spoiler.
