Disagree. RFK does not hold much appeal for Dems/Dem leaning voters. He's much more likely to siphon votes from Trump with disaffected Repubs who can't bring themselves to vote for Biden. Let's face it, the guy's a nut case, and with Trump, we already have one of those.

A greater risk is Cornell West, who could conceivably draw a significant number of Black voters who traditionally vote Dem. I see that as a bigger threat.

And then, of course, there's No Labels - if it even mounts a campaign - and if they draw in a viable candidate such as Joe Manchin. Those are big ifs, and so far nothing is happening, and I suspect nothing will. Time is running short to mount a campaign. And again, it's much more likely to attract disaffected Repubs. However, equally disaffected center-right Dems might also find it attractive, though I'm highly skeptical.
