The incumbent party still holds a primary, even though most don't participate because the incumbent president is usually unchallenged, or is the obvious nominee regardless. I don't recall anyone polling as high as RFK Jr in an incumbent primary, at least in recent history. If Biden was a popular president with an actual base, someone polling 15-20% wouldn't even be a threat, regardless of low voter participation. However, who would actually come out to vote for Biden in a primary deemed "unimportant". If RFK supporters showed up and voted, he would be guaranteed the nomination. Am I missing something here?? Why isn't this talked about?

We need the part of the movie where dem voters show up in obvious number and vote for RFK and the RNC steals it and hands it to the Bidet. They need to experience the theft that MAGA voters got dealt. Then Trump may ask him to run as VP. That would solidify it.
