Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to make the cut for CNN’s debate on Thursday night—so he planned to debate himself instead.
Libertarian former Fox Business host John Stossel announced Thursday evening that he would be “moderating” the alternate debate, which would be livestreamed on Elon Musk’s X platform. A big screen next to Kennedy would air the actual debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and Kennedy would provide his own answers to the questions posed to Biden and Trump, Stossel said. As for the actual debating part of the alternate debate, Stossel didn’t say.
In a post on X, RFK Jr. said he expected the main event to be nothing more than “arguments, name calling, accusations, and culture war issues– but no debate on most of the subjects that matter to Americans.”
