Axios reports:
The window for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to qualify for the first presidential debate on June 27 is closing rapidly. CNN, which is hosting the first debate, reported Saturday that “though not impossible,” it’s unlikely that any candidate other than President Biden and former President Trump will qualify.
