Members of the Kennedy family are expected to endorse President Biden, effectively snubbing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who panicked Democrats say could spoil the election.

"I can only imagine how Donald Trump's outrageous lies and behavior would have horrified my father," she is expected to say.

According to the report, Biden will be introduced by former Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., who ran a failed campaign for U.S. Senate in 2020, and currently serves as Biden's special envoy to Northern Ireland. 

The family members will then put in some work on behalf of the Biden campaign in Pennsylvania, a major swing state, including making calls and knocking on doors.

When reached for comment, Kennedy's campaign pointed Fox News Digital to a statement the candidate made on social media.

"I hear some of my family will be endorsing President Biden today. I am pleased they are politically active — it’s a family tradition. We are divided in our opinions but united in our love for each other," RFK, Jr. wrote. "I hold this as a possibility for America too. Can we disagree without hating our opponents? Can we restore civility and respect to public discourse? I think we can."

Since its inception, members of the team post near constant criticism of RFK, Jr. on social media, and have frequently referred to him as a "spoiler" candidate. They have also claimed Kennedy is in cahoots with Trump in order to help him win.

Earlier this month, the DNC accused RFK, Jr's campaign of acknowledging its role as a "spoiler" after a woman associated with the campaign was captured on video discussing campaign strategy and how Trump could win the state of New York with the independent candidate on the ballot in November.

"The only way that Trump can even, remote possibility of taking New York is if Bobby is on the ballot," a self identified Kennedy campaign staffer, told a room of Republicans in New York in a video reviewed by Fox News Digital.

"If it’s Trump vs. Biden, Biden wins. Biden wins six days, seven days a week. With Bobby in the mix, anything can happen."
