The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Just how "independent" is Kennedy? The leaked video phone call is scandalous in so many ways and confirms what Democrats have been saying all along: Kennedy is a spoiler for Trump, vying to help him win the election. And this video shows them openly coordinating against President Biden.

Pro-Trump narrative

While Democrats are infighting over whether to replace President Biden or not, Trump picks up the phone, trying to maintain a relationship with Kennedy. While Democrats — having labeled him a crazy conspiracy theorist — use every chance to mock and isolate Kennedy, Trump tactfully attempts to win him over.
