Former President Donald J. Trump attacked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, on Wednesday morning, casting Mr. Kennedy as a liberal Democrat in disguise while also seeming to back him as a spoiler for President Biden’s campaign 1. Trump pointed to Mr. Kennedy’s views on climate change and the environment, writing on his social media site that Mr. Kennedy was more “radical Left” than Mr. Biden 1. Yet he also professed support for Mr. Kennedy’s campaign, claiming that Mr. Kennedy would be likely to siphon votes from Mr. Biden 1.

Mr. Kennedy started his presidential campaign last year as a Democrat challenging Mr. Biden in the primary. After six months, he announced he would run as an independent candidate instead 1. Mr. Kennedy has voiced support for the Green New Deal and has backed environmental policies favored by the left that would limit the use of fossil fuels 1. But he opposes military assistance for Ukraine in its war against Russia, putting him at odds with mainstream Democrats and aligning him more closely with many on the right, including Mr. Trump 1.

In summary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, has been attacked by Donald Trump, who sees him as a potential spoiler for both his and President Biden’s campaigns. Despite this, Trump has also shown support for Kennedy’s campaign, believing it could draw votes away from Biden 1.
