RFK Jr. insists he's 'no spoiler' and issues a pledge to Biden: I'll drop out of the race if you perform better than me against Trump in a head-to-head poll

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday that he would sign a 'no spoiler pledge' if President Joe Biden did the same. 

Kennedy argued at an event in New York that he's no 'spoiler' because if the election was today former President Donald Trump would beat Biden - whether he's in the race or not.

The shellacking would be worse, Kennedy said, if just Trump and Biden are on the ballot, as Trump would be able to flip Virginia and Maine.

'I perform much, much better against President Trump than President Biden does,' the ex-Democrat stated. 

He then offered to drop out if polling just weeks before the election no longer showed that, as long as Biden agreed to do the same.

'This is a "no spoiler pledge," which we're announcing today. This is a pledge that I offer to take if President Biden also takes it,' he explained. 'Both parties agree to co-fund in mid-October a 50 state poll with 30,000 or more likely voters.'

He said this large survey pool would essentially insure a zero margin of error.

'The survey will test the results of a head-to-head race, pitting President Biden against President Trump. And a second head-to-head race, pitting me against President Trump,' Kennedy said. 'Both parties, whomever performs weakest against President Trump in a two-man contest will drop out of the presidential race.'

Polling by Zogby Analytics, which was unveiled at the Kennedy event, showed Kennedy being able to squeak out a win against Trump, if it was a two-person contest. 

The likelihood of a sitting president and a candidate from one of the two major parties dropping out of the race in mid-October is virtually none. 

'Robert F. Kennedy Jr is a spoiler- recruited by the MAGA GOP and propped up by Trump's largest donor. His VEEP-like performance today does nothing to dispel that notion - it only reinforces how deeply unserious his campaign is,' Democratic National Committee spokesperson Matt Corridoni told DailyMail.com in a statement.

Kennedy - a prominent anti-vaxxer who left the Democratic Party in October to pursue a third-party run - still has to get his name on every state's ballot. 

So far the Kennedy campaign has achieved ballot access in Michigan - a top swing state - Utah and California.

In Michigan Kennedy and his running mate, lawyer and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan, will represent the little-known Natural Law Party, which already has a reserved spot on the ballot. 

In similar fashion, in California, the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket will represent the American Independent Party of California. 

In other states, the Kennedy campaign has pursued signature-gathering efforts, the usual - but burdensome way - independent candidates have to get on the ballot. 

The campaign has said it has gathered enough signatures to appear on the ballots in Hawaii, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa and Nevada but those efforts haven't been without problems. 

In Nevada the signatures gathered could be tossed out because Kennedy needed to have a running mate named on the paperwork he filed.

The Nevada signatures were gathered before Shanahan was announced as Kennedy's VP pick in March. 

Nevada's secretary of state office said an official there told the Kennedy campaign the wrong information but that state law would still have to be followed. 

In turn, the Kennedy campaign has threatened to sue Nevada.
