Kennedy Jr. Wants Biden to Drop Out of POTUS Race, Calls Him a 'Spoiler' [There is conflicting polling regarding whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential candidacy helps]( or harms each of the majority party contenders. The reality of the third-party/RFK effect may not be fully understood until after the general election ballots are counted and analyzed. Still, Kennedy has plans not to wait that long. The proposed pact would require a 50-state poll to be conducted in mid-October, jointly funded by the Kennedy and Biden campaigns. The poll must survey more than 30,000 voters and whoever is disfavored in a match-up against the presumed GOP candidate, former President Donald Trump, must drop out of the race. Kennedy believes that he is not the "spoiler" and that his odds at besting Trump in a general election are better than Biden's, based on polling from John Zogby Strategies, a firm that has worked with both the campaign and a Kennedy-aligned super PAC. [During the presentation, Fox Kennedy said:]( Is there any scenario in which President Trump participates in the election and doesn’t win it? Yes, there is exactly one.

Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems, a Boeing supplier, died from a fast-spreading infection weeks after being fired for blowing the whistle on the company. Dean’s death at the age of 45 comes just after the demise of John “Mitch” Barnett, who also went public with safety concerns and manufacturing defects related to Boeing’s aircraft production. Dean identified and reported critical defects in the 737 MAX’s aft pressure bulkhead in October 2022. However, he said Spirit AeroSystems’ management dismissed his concerns. He was later terminated in April 2023. [Dean’s whistleblowing and subsequent firing raise even more critical questions about the safety practices](employed by major aerospace manufacturers and efforts to suppress those bringing up legitimate concerns about safety. His allegations prompted an FAA investigation. However, the details of his claims have been kept confidential. Barnett, an ex-quality manager at Boeing's North Charleston plant, had been sounding the alarm since his 2017 retirement about some scary quality issues at the aircraft company: Barnett's death came during a break in depositions in a whistleblower retaliation suit, where he alleged under-pressure workers were deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the assembly line. The circumstances surrounding the deaths of both men are particularly curious given the nature of the revelations they brought to light about Boeing’s flawed manufacturing practices. Both accused their employer of disregarding safety issues that could have wrought dire consequences for travelers.
