00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to meet CNN's polling and ballot access
00:07thresholds to qualify for the network's first 2024 presidential debate between President Biden
00:11and former President Trump on June 27. Kennedy has only reached the 15% polling mark in three
00:17approved national polls, short of CNN's requirement of four polls. He also has not
00:22secured ballot access in enough states to gain 270 electoral votes. Kennedy is on the ballot in
00:2810 states but is awaiting verification or application windows in others.
00:32Kennedy's campaign has filed an FEC complaint against CNN and the Biden and Trump campaigns
00:36over the debate criteria and says it may take further legal action.
