There hasn't been a presidential debate with three candidates onstage since Ross Perot debated Bill Clinton and George HW Bush in 1992—and it doesn't look like there will be one in 2024. President Biden and Donald Trump have agreed to hold two debates, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is unlikely to meet the qualifications to take part, NBC News reports. He slammed Biden and Trump on Wednesday, accusing them of colluding against him.
- HIs statement. "Presidents Trump and Biden are colluding to lock America into a head-to-head match-up that 70% say they do not want," Kennedy said in a post on X. "They are trying to exclude me from their debate because they are afraid I would win. Keeping viable candidates off the debate stage undermines democracy." He added: "If Americans are ever going to escape the hammerlock of the two-party system, now is the time to do it. These are the two most unpopular candidates in living memory."
