Toxic environment: RFK Jr's onetime climate allies don't want him to be president

Several of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council, a climate activist group, are calling on the independent presidential candidate to drop out of the race.

Kennedy previously worked as a lawyer for the NRDC and has touted his experience as an environmental lawyer in his third-party candidacy, which both former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden are reportedly concerned could hurt their electoral odds. The political arm of the group, which has endorsed Biden, announced Friday that it will be running full-page advertisements against RFK Jr. in six newspapers in swing states on Sunday.
