(DCNF)—CNN contributor Van Jones said Tuesday that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is creating a political “shockwave” in the Democratic Party.
American Values 2024, a political action committee backing the environmental activist, announced it had collected enough signatures to put Kennedy on the ballot in Arizona and Georgia, CNN reported. Jones called Kennedy’s potential performance “a big deal” that could sink President Joe Biden’s reelection bid.
“If you understand basic math, this is a shockwave through the Democratic Party because it takes a lot less than the amount of support he‘s got, especially among young people, to throw this whole thing [for] Biden,” Jones told CNN host Erin Burnett. “And we can lose some states, but we can‘t lose many, and so we‘re having — we‘re going to have a tough enough time in Georgia, we’re going to have a tough enough time in Arizona anyway, but this is a big deal. This is a very big deal and I think, for me, my heart breaks.”
Former President Donald Trump leads Biden by 4.7 points in Arizona in a head-to-head matchup according to RealClearPolling’s average, but the lead grows to 7 points when Kennedy, Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independent candidate Cornel West are included as options. In Georgia, RealClearPolling reports Trump’s average lead over Biden is 6.8 points in a head-to-head matchup, but with Stein, West and Kennedy in the race, Trump’s lead grew to 8 points.
“I know RFK Jr, in fact, he endorsed and wrote for my first book. I‘m very close to his sister, Kerry,” Jones said. “He was an environmental champion hero of mine for a very long time, but if you don‘t have a pathway to win the White House, and I don‘t think that he‘s going to be on enough ballots to win the White House, then you shouldn‘t be doing this because you can only hurt Joe Biden and hand the country over to Donald Trump.”
Some Democrats blamed Stein for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s defeat in the 2016 election, pointing to the margins in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Politico reported.
Trump currently leads Biden by 2.1% in the RealClearPolitics average of national general election polls for a head-to-head matchup, a lead that grows to 3% when Kennedy, Stein and West are included.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
Real Americans, Real Wins
Don’t just take our word for it. Thousands of freedom-loving families have already ditched the old system for America First. “Finally, insurance that aligns with our values and actually saves us money,” shares one client. Another raves, “Our small team got big-business perks without the hassle—it’s a game-changer.” These aren’t scripted lines; they’re the voices of patriots who’ve reclaimed control over their health destiny.
