RFK Jr. Challenges Exclusion from CNN Presidential Debate
Kennedy's campaign accuses Biden, Trump, and CNN of collusion, files FEC complaint to halt debate.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alleges collusion between Biden, Trump, and CNN to exclude him from the June 27 debate.
- Kennedy's campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, seeking intervention by June 20.
- CNN cites Kennedy's failure to meet polling and ballot access criteria as the reason for his exclusion.
- The debate criteria require candidates to be on enough state ballots to reach 270 electoral votes and to have 15% support in four national polls.
- Legal experts suggest Kennedy's complaint faces significant challenges due to media exemptions in campaign finance law.
