Still, the former president said the independent candidate is "really not doing well in the polls."
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would be open to having independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. join him and President Joe Biden on the debate stage next month.
Trump and Biden on Wednesday agreed to take part in two debates with the first one to be hosted by CNN next month in Atlanta.
In an interview with Scripps News, Trump said he wouldn’t mind Kennedy taking part in the debates as long as he met the criteria.
“I think he’s really not doing well in the polls at all,” Trump said. “His numbers have gone down a lot lately but I would have no problem if he got whatever the threshold is. But he’s very low and he seems to be heading in the other direction, in the wrong direction.”
“If he qualified, I would have no problem,” Trump continued.
