The Times reported, \u201cDemocrats worry that a third-party run by Mr. Kennedy could draw votes away from Mr. Biden and help elect former President Donald J. Trump.\u201d The electoral dynamics, however, remain uncertain, leaving open the question of whether Kennedy&#8217;s independent candidacy would hurt President Biden more than the yet-to-be-determined Republican nominee.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/RFK-Jr.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/RFK-Jr.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-201937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/RFK-Jr.png 1093w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/RFK-Jr-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/RFK-Jr-1024x544.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/RFK-Jr-768x408.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1093px) 100vw, 1093px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the political landscape braces for this unexpected maneuver, the nation awaits Kennedy\u2019s formal announcement, anticipating the repercussions of a potential fracture in the Democratic vote.
