Donald Trump has released a video in which he weighs in on RFK Jr. being left out of the first presidential debate. Trump says he’d love to see him there; “I don’t think he’s much of a debater, and he’s got some very liberal, radical left ideas,” Trump said in a video shared on TikTok.
“So I hope to see him up there someday, but it looks to me like he’s not going to qualify on many fronts,” Trump continued. “They say he hurts Biden more than he hurts me, and I don’t know if that’s true or not. They say he hurts Biden because he’s a serious left person. If he is, that’s good — I don’t really care.”

From Fox News:
In order to qualify for the CNN-hosted debate, candidates are required to receive at least 15% support in four separate national polls. Candidates must also be on the ballot in enough states to make it hypothetically possible to collect the 270 electoral college votes necessary to win the election.
Kennedy — the highest-performing 2024 candidate outside the Republican and Democratic parties — failed to meet the criteria by the Thursday morning deadline, the network said.
RFK shared a message about being left out of the debate on X, saying Biden and Trump worked with CNN to block his participation.
Watch the clip below:
President Trump and President Biden don’t agree on much, but they do agree on excluding me from the debate stage. They’ve colluded with CNN to rig the debate rules and block my participation so they don’t have to answer tough questions about the lockdowns, the $34 trillion… pic.twitter.com/oGn68n4i2U
