Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he will meet the qualifications that CNN established for its June 27 presidential debate, but he has questioned the legality of those guidelines. The independent presidential candidate filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on May 28, claiming that CNN collaborated with the campaigns of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump to keep him out of the forum.

Earlier this month, President Biden and President Trump announced that they would meet on June 27 in the earliest presidential debate in televised history on CNN.
