Politico: “The bombardment against Kennedy has grown so intense that the campaign is crying foul. Democrats are taking third-party threats seriously, and anti-Kennedy antagonism has spiked now that the general election is underway and the independent candidate continues to draw significant support in the polls.”
“Despite the political prowess associated with his family name, Kennedy is a first-time candidate, and is now receiving his first real political vetting.”
