Today on “Post Reports,” the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the impact his candidacy could have on the 2024 election — even if he doesn’t come close to winning.
Read more:
Back in April, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his candidacy for president of the United States. While he comes from a long line of famous politicians — including his father, onetime U.S. attorney general Bobby Kennedy, and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated — he has no political experience himself. Instead, after decades as an environmental lawyer, RFK Jr. has embraced misinformation about everything from vaccines to the 2004 election.
Today, national political reporter Michael Scherer walks us through RFK Jr.’s background, the conspiratorial thinking that shapes his campaign, and how he could upend the 2024 election.

The USWNT is out of the World Cup at the earliest stage in the program’s history. Today on “Post Reports,” we talk to soccer reporter Steve Goff about what happened – and what it signals about the global evolution of women's soccer.
Read more:
The U.S. women’s national soccer team went into the World Cup favored to win it all. Instead, they were knocked out before even making it to the quarterfinals.
But as The Post’s Emily Giambalvo wrote, “the team’s waning dominance says less about the United States and more about the global evolution of women’s soccer.”
Soccer reporter Steve Goff spoke to us from Melbourne, Australia, about the dramatic early exit for the USWNT – and what he’s watching for next in this World Cup.

Yeah, we have to talk about the indictments. But we've got a huge election in Ohio next week, so we welcome back David Pepper to run down what's happening in the huge special election.
But first - the one stat that shows just how little these indictments are going to affect the Republican presidential primary. Joe and David explain why they may hurt Trump in the general, but the ultra-MAGA crowd has the primary locked down. And in Ohio - Why the Issue 1 vote is the front line in the fight for democracy and our rights and how we must stop the far right's attempt to claw back a victory by changing the rules.
Read the indictment here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/01/trump-indictment-full-text-2020-election-jan-6
