Elon Musk has agreed with Robert F. Kennedy to host a Presidential Debate on X. This comes as Trump and Biden agreed to a debate on CNN without RFK. Although not yet on enough ballots, RFK has a growing share of the vote which means he can’t be ignored. America’s News Desk reports:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, has now expressed his desire to conduct a presidential debate between himself, former President Trump, and President Biden on the social platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
He contends that the platform has a significantly larger audience than the news networks that are scheduled to host debates in the future months.
X is where the debate should be. The new public square with 100x the audience of CNN. @realDonaldTrump, I know you’ve got the guts to do it. Do you want to call @POTUS or should I? https://t.co/0HbKmcAHRt
— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) May 22, 2024Kennedy initially inquired whether Elon Musk, the billionaire proprietor of X, would be willing to moderate a discussion on the social media platform.
Kennedy advocated for the debate to be conducted on the social media platform, and Musk concurred.
The first general election debate is scheduled for June 27 on CNN, and both President Biden and former President Trump have consented to participate.
ABC News will moderate the subsequent debate on September 10.
Kennedy has been excluded from both at present; however, this may alter if he achieves the debate stage threshold.
In order to qualify, he must receive 15 percent in four national polls and be on the ballot in sufficient states to hypothetically accumulate 270 electoral votes, as stipulated by the rules.
RFK’s chances for the Presidency are close to zero, but his message is resonating with many. This would be a chance for Trump to speak to them in the hopes for their support in November.
