RFK, Jr. Jr. Files Complaint over Rules for CNN’s Presidential Debate Next Month

Kennedy claims he is being held to a different standard

Kennedy alleges the requirements to participate in the June 27 debate were designed to ensure only Biden and Trump would qualify; Kennedy claims he is being held to a higher standard.
