ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. PLANS TO FILE A COMPLAINT OVER POTENTIAL DEBATE EXCLUSION. THE BIDEN AND TRUMP CAMPAIGNS HAVE ALREADY AGREED TO A DEBATE ON JUNE 27. — Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy told Scripps News he plans to file a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission over his potential exclusion from next month’s presidential debate.
“There’s strong evidence that’s been reported in the mainstream media of collusion between the Trump campaign, the Biden campaign, particularly the Biden campaign, and CNN,” Kennedy said.The Kennedy campaign said the complaint will be filed Tuesday — less than one month before the debate. Last week, the Trump and Biden campaigns agreed to a June 27 debate hosted by CNN. To qualify, candidates must have at least 15% support in four separate polls recognized by CNN, and be on enough state ballots to reach 270 electoral votes.The comments came in a wide-ranging interview with Scripps News’ Chance Seales that will air at 6 p.m. Thursday on “The Race.”
