(Daily Mail) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has revealed an offer to Joe Biden that he believes would shake up the 2024 election and help one of them defeat Donald Trump.
The nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy has kept running as a third-party candidate after losing to Biden in the Democrat primary.
Recent polls show him garnering nine percent of the vote as an independent in a multi-way race with Biden, Trump and other candidates.
In a one-one-one interview with Dr. Phil to be aired tonight ahead of the presidential debate, the longtime activist and environmental lawyer says he has offered Biden a deal that would prevent him from being a ‘spoiler’ candidate and would help defeat Trump.
‘We will co-fund a poll together, the two of us in October, and whomever is least likely to beat Donald Trump will withdraw,’ he tells Dr Phil in the interview on Merit Plus.

Kennedy has consistently cited a Zogby Analysis poll that shows Trump beating Biden if he’s in or in a two-way race, while RFK Jr. would defeat the Republican or Biden head-to-head.
The independent has his doubts about whether Biden would accept the deal, which he says is still on the table, and claims it proves he’s not trying to throw the election.
‘Do I expect that he will take that deal? No, but I’m not a spoiler. A spoiler is somebody who cannot win and they stay in and disrupt the expectations of somebody who can,’ Kennedy clarified.
He says that Biden has not even given his deal a response at this stage.
Kennedy covers a wide range of topics on Dr. Phil Primetime, including what he believes he’s learned from his presidential uncle in times of crisis.
He specifically details JFK’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the nearly two-week confrontation between America and the Soviets over nuclear missiles deployed near Cuba.
Dr. Phil asks whether tensions between the US and Russia are at their worst since the crisis, with some lawmakers believe Biden is ‘sleepwalking’ America into a repeat.
‘I’d do the same thing my uncle did. My father had gone to the Justice Department and negotiated a deal.’
