NewsNation has announced it will host a live town hall event with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. next week.
RFK Jr. is seeking the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination, and will sit down with anchor Elizabeth Vargas on Wednesday, June 28th at 9:00 PM ET.
The NewsNation event will air from St. Anselm College in New Hampshire, the same location as CNN’s contentious town hall event with former President Donald Trump.
Kennedy has been in the news after a controversial appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. In the episode, he espoused his anti-vaccine beliefs, shared that he believes wifi is causing brain damage, and chemicals in the water supply are the reason for a rise in transgenderism, among other claims. After his appearance on Rogan’s podcast, an interview he did with Jordan Peterson was removed from YouTube, with Peterson claiming the digital video platform was “interfering” in the upcoming election.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is currently polling at 17%, according to FiveThirtyEight.com. That number has been as high as 20% according to a May survey from CNN.
After the 90-minute town hall event, a special edition of [CUOMO] will recap the statements made by the prospective nominee.
