Biden faces Republican Donald Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election in November.
Both sides are concerned that Kennedy, who is running a quixotic campaign based on his history as an anti-vaccine activist, could eat into their share of the vote.

Many members of the Kennedy clan joined President Joe Biden at the White House on Sunday for St. Patrick’s Day and spread the photo above on social media.
“I can only imagine how Donald Trump’s outrageous lies and behavior would have horrified my father, Robert F. Kennedy,” Kerry Kennedy said.
‘Dad defended equal justice, human rights and freedom in the face of misery and fear. Just as President Biden does today.”
He cited his work in Ukraine and on arms control, and praised how he had twice traveled to active war zones.
“He is the first sitting president in our history to have traveled to an active war zone, not under American control, not once, but twice to show support for our allies,” he said. ‘He always was

Kennedy, 70, an environmental lawyer, is running as an anti-vaccine activist.
His famous name has helped him rise in the polls. But it has proven to be a double-edged sword.
He was forced to apologize for a Super Bowl ad that resembled one by his uncle, John F. Kennedy, that ran in 1960.
The 30-second ad, which cost approximately $7 million, featured ‘Kennedy, Kennedy, ‘Kennedy For Me’ that helped JFK defeat Richard Nixon.
The division in the family became clear when family members, dressed in green, posed for a photo with Biden on the steps of the Rose Garden last month.
“From one proud Irish family to another, it was good to have you all back in the White House,” Biden posted on social media in response to a post with a photo of Kerry Kennedy, the youngest daughter of the late Sen. Bobby Kennedy.
