RFK Jr. can still qualify for debate, per CNN.

A Biden adviser tells Axios: 'Our criteria for a 1:1 debate was made clear publicly, it was made clear to CNN and they understood our position when we accepted their offer.”

CNN declined to say more axios.com/2024/05/15/tru…

The Biden campaign's stated theory of the case is that the race will change once voters realize it's really a choice between Biden and Trump.

A June debate will make try to make that happen earlier and will be an early test of that theory.

I asked CNN if RFK Jr. can still potentially qualify given the criteria laid out (on enough state ballots for 270 & polling threshold)

CNN tells me: 'candidates just need to meet the qualifications laid out to in the release. At this time, only Biden and Trump have qualified.'
