Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign for president has attracted attention, particularly from President Trump, who fears that Kennedy could take more votes away from him than from Joe Biden. Trump has released a video attacking Kennedy, calling him a "Democrat plant" and criticizing his views on vaccines and other issues. Kennedy, who is running as an independent and heading to the Libertarian Party convention, claims he turned down an offer to be Trump's running mate, which the Trump campaign denies. Biden is taking precautions against Kennedy's candidacy, gathering endorsements and setting up a war room to track his campaign. The election may ultimately be decided by how voters perceive Kennedy.

The recent local elections in the UK have shown a significant rise in support for independent Muslim candidates who ran on an anti-Israel platform. While local elections in Britain are not typically taken too seriously, these results indicate a growing political force of Islamist sentiment.

Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary but displayed irritation and nastiness in his victory speech, criticizing runner-up Nikki Haley and suggesting that Governor Chris Sununu must be on drugs for supporting her. This behavior does not help Trump in his goal of unifying the Republican Party, as many of Haley's supporters have expressed that they would not vote for Trump if he becomes the nominee. Additionally, Trump needs to appeal to swing voters and focus on issues that matter to them, such as the economy. Furthermore, Trump's legal troubles, potential court appearances, and concerns about his mental sharpness may also hurt him with general-election voters. Overall, the winner of the general election will likely be the candidate that swing voters dislike a little bit less. [Extracted from the article]
