Trump, RFK Jr., Biden
Presidential candidates Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Joe Biden.
  • James Carville said RFK Jr.'s White House bid could be more of a drag on Trump than Biden.
  • "Bobby Kennedy might hurt Trump more than he hurts Biden," he told MSNBC's Ari Melber last week.
  • RFK Jr. said last week that his candidacy would be a "spoiler" for both Biden and Trump.

Democratic strategist James Carville, in a recent MSNBC interview, said that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign might be a drag on former President Donald Trump's 2024 bid.

While many observers say Kennedy Jr.'s campaign would harm Biden, the veteran Democratic strategist took the opposite view.

"I actually think Bobby Kennedy might hurt Trump more than he hurts Biden," he told host Ari Melber last week.
