Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, did not qualify for the first presidential debate due to insufficient polling and state ballot access.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, didn't meet the required polling thresholds or be on enough state ballots to participate in the first presidential debate alongside President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Kennedy has arranged a counterprogramming livestreamed event in response to the debate but has no public schedule for the coming weeks. His insurgent campaign faces challenges in lacking funding for TV commercials and has to prioritize securing ballot access, which limits public appearances.
