Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has revealed what he says is his path to the White House as he faces increased pressure from the Biden and Trump campaigns targeting what some have described as his \u2018spoiler\u2019 candidacy.<\/p>\n

\u2018All we need to do is get to 33% to win the election,\u2019 Kennedy told Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo last week on his show \u2018World Over,\u2019 which appears on EWTN Global Catholic Network.<\/p>\n

\u2018You don\u2019t need 50%. It\u2019s a three-way race \u2014 and it\u2019s really a five-way race,\u2019 he added, referencing independent candidate Dr. Cornel West and Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein.<\/p>\n

Kennedy told Arroyo he was already close to that 33% \u2018in a bunch of states,\u2019 appearing to cite internal polling, and argued he has an advantage over President Biden and former President Donald Trump when it came to young voters.<\/p>\n

According to a number of recent public polls, Kennedy is polling better than any third-party candidate has since Texas businessman Ross Perot\u2019s back-to-back White House runs in the 1990s, and is doing particularly well with voters under the age of 35. He is, however, still trailing Trump and Biden in the demographic.<\/p>\n

A Quinnipiac poll released last week found Kennedy with 16% support overall, with Trump and Biden each at 37%. He pulled significant support from Trump and Biden with voters aged 18-34, garnering 19% support, but still trailed the former president (34%) and president (30%).<\/p>\n

The same poll taken last fall showed Kennedy leading Trump and Biden with voters aged 18-34, getting 39% to their 27% and 32% respectively. However, that poll did not include West and Stein.<\/p>\n

One former Bernie Sanders pollster, Ben Tulchin, recently sounded the alarm over Kennedy pulling so much young support from Biden. Last week, he told The New York Times he was worried about Biden\u2019s chances of winning re-election because of Kennedy\u2019s appeal to the demographic, as well as Latino voters.<\/p>\n

\u2018Young voters and Latinos respond really well to a hard-edge economic populist message \u2014 and that is not Biden\u2019s message,\u2019 Tulchin said. \u2018They\u2019re dissatisfied about the political and economic status quo. And I see in that mind-set the potential opening to support a third-party candidate,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

To prevent that from happening, the Democratic National Committee launched an effort to silence the threat to Biden\u2019s re-election from third-party candidates, namely Kennedy, in the form of a team that is expected to actively combat them with legal challenges and opposition research.<\/p>\n

Likewise, Trump recently railed against Kennedy as a \u2018wasted protest vote\u2019 in a post on Truth Social, and his campaign has launched a website targeting the latter as \u2018radical f\u2014\u2013g Kennedy,\u2019 describing him as a \u2018friend of left-wing extremists.\u2019<\/p>\n

Additionally, Biden appeared alongside six members of Kennedy\u2019s family as they endorsed him over their own, a clear snub in conjunction with the DNC\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n

Both sides have also accused Kennedy of being a \u2018plant\u2019 in order to help boost the other side, something he vehemently denies.<\/p>\n\n
