The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Kennedy continues to run an unserious campaign that's besmirching his family's legacy and could potentially spoil Biden's reelection. Even his relatives oppose his campaign. His ties to Rodgers and Ventura are built on conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine sentiments, and this is as dangerous to the country while he's on the campaign trail as it would be if he somehow got elected to the White House.
Establishment-critical narrative
Kennedy isn't tarnishing his family's reputation, he's actually carrying on the legacy of what his father and grandfather believed. He should be a spoiler to both Biden and Republican nominee Donald Trump because he wants to beat them in a three-way race — a possibility according to the polls. Independents are a huge voting bloc, and Kennedy is representing those citizens well.
