Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday alleging President Joe Biden’s campaign, former President Donald Trump’s campaign and CNN violated federal campaign laws in scheduling the network’s June 27 presidential debate.
The complaint marks the latest step in Kennedy’s push to appear on the debate stage alongside Biden and Trump.
In order to participate in CNN’s debate, candidates must be qualified on enough state ballots to be eligible for 270 electoral votes.
The window for candidates to earn qualifying polls opened March 13th and closes seven days prior to the debate.
The Kennedy campaign argues that the qualification criteria are not objective and claims Biden and Trump would not be qualified on any states’ ballot because their parties’ nominating conventions will occur after the debate.
A CNN spokesperson said both Biden and Trump will meet the ballot access criteria as the presumptive nominees of their parties.
“The law in virtually every state provides that the nominee of a state-recognized political party will be allowed ballot access without petitioning.
