小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪继续面临一些知名家庭成员的批评他的独立总统竞选他的妹妹罗瑞·肯尼迪周一告诉美国广播公司新闻主播乔治·斯特凡诺普洛斯，特朗普入主白宫让她“担心”特朗普获胜的可能性。
罗瑞·肯尼迪是在“早安美国”节目中发表这番言论的，她似乎是在宣传自己的新纪录片系列《新农杀手》
罗瑞·肯尼迪说:“我对鲍比参选的最大担忧是他会从(乔·拜登总统)手中夺走选票。
因为小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪是无党派人士，所以他竞选的成功最终取决于他在关键州获得选票的能力。
尽管他只在犹他州获得了正式资格，但他坚持认为，当选民前往投票站时，他将出现在各地的选票上。
他的竞选团队和一个联合超级政治行动委员会(super PAC)一起表示，他们已经收集了足够的签名，可以让他参加亚利桑那州、佐治亚州、密歇根州、内华达州和北卡罗来纳州的选举，尽管每个州的官员要到今年晚些时候才能正式核实他的身份。
罗瑞·肯尼迪周一告诉斯特凡诺普洛斯:“我认为这次选举将取决于少数几个州的少数选票。”“我担心投票给鲍比会夺走拜登的选票，导致特朗普当选，我非常担心这将在接下来的四年里对我们的国家和世界产生什么影响。”
小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪的竞选团队没有回应对其姐姐言论的置评请求，但这位候选人一再坚称他和他的家庭成员彼此相爱尽管存在任何政策差异，但可以不同意.
他还指出，其他亲属支持他参选。
“我来自一个大家庭，在这个大家庭中，我们被培养成相互辩论，我们被培养成有争议，能够激烈地相互辩论，”他在1月份的新闻节目中说。“我们每天晚上都在餐桌上练习。要做到这一点，彼此不同意但不讨厌对方，即使我们在问题或战略上有分歧也要继续相爱——我希望整个国家都这样。”
民主党全国委员会越来越多地攻击肯尼迪竞选团队声称他“只不过是特朗普的一匹跟踪马”，对此他表示拒绝。
许多民调显示，罗伯特·r·肯尼迪在大选中对拜登的伤害比对前总统特朗普的伤害更大，尽管最近几周接受美国广播公司新闻采访的大多数肯尼迪支持者表示，如果肯尼迪不竞选，他们会投票给特朗普。
另外，据报道，肯尼迪竞选团队在周末举行活动纪念查韦斯生日时，遭到已故劳工组织者凯萨·查维斯家人的指责。
小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪告诉《纽约时报》如果他知道这家人的观点，他可能会改变活动。他的竞选团队在一份声明中表示，庆祝活动的部分目的是“纪念凯萨·查维斯和他与我父亲、我家人和我的亲密友谊，以及他对我们国家的影响。”
RFK Jr.'s sister Rory is 'concerned' his presidential campaign could help Trump over Biden
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to face criticism from some prominent family members overhis independent presidential bid, with his sister Rory Kennedy telling ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos on Monday that his bid for the White House makes her "concerned" about the likelihood it could prompt a Donald Trump victory.
Rory Kennedy made the comments on "Good Morning America," where she appeared to tout her new documentary series, "The Synanon Fix."
"My biggest concern with Bobby's run is that he is going to take votes away from [President Joe] Biden," Rory Kennedy said.
Because he is an independent, the success of Robert F. Kennedy Jr's campaign ultimately depends on his ability to access the ballot in key states.
Though he has officially qualified in just one state, Utah, he insists he will be on the ballot everywhere by the time voters head to the polls.
His campaign and an allied super PAC together say they have gathered enough signatures to place him on the ballot in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina, though officials in each state cannot officially verify his status until later this year.
"I think this election is going to come down to a handful of votes in a handful of states," Rory Kennedy told Stephanopoulos on Monday. "And I am concerned that voting for Bobby is going to take votes away from Biden and lead to a Trump election and I'm very concerned what that will do to our country and to the world over the ensuing four years."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign did not respond to a request for comment on his sister's remarks but the candidate has repeatedly insisted that he and his family members love each other andcan disagree despite any policy differences.
He has also pointed out that other relatives support his candidacy.
"I come from a big family [in which] we were raised to debate each other, we were raised to have controversies, to be able to debate robustly and vigorously with each other," he said on NewsNation in January. "We practiced it night after night at the dinner table. And to do that, to disagree with each other without hating on each other, to continue to love each other even though we disagree on issues or on strategies -- I wish that for the whole country,"
The Democratic National Committee hasincreasingly attacked the Kennedy campaign, claiming that he's "nothing more than a Trump stalking horse," which he rejects.
Many polls show Robert R. Kennedy hurting Biden more than former President Trump in a general election matchup, though a majority of Kennedy supporters who have spoken to ABC News in recent weeks say they would vote for Trump if Kennedy were not running.
Separately over the weekend, the Kennedy campaign reportedly drew rebuke from the family of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez as the candidate was holding an event to mark Chavez's birthday.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.told The New York Timesthat he would have changed the event if he had been aware of the family's views and his campaign said in a statement, in part, that the celebration was meant "to honor Cesar Chavez and his close friendship with my father, my family and me, and his impact on our country."
