Kennedy says he’s declaring independence from “the cynical elites who betray our hope and who amplify our divisions.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Monday that he is launching an independent presidential bid in 2024. Kennedy, the son of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, has been a vocal critic of the Democratic Party and its primary process. He has also raised concerns about the influence of money in politics and the media.
In his announcement speech, Kennedy said that he was declaring independence from “the cynical elites who betray our hope and who amplify our divisions.” He also criticized the two major political parties, saying that they are both controlled by special interests.
Kennedy faces an uphill battle in the 2024 presidential election. He is starting with low name recognition and has limited financial resources. However, he believes that his candidacy can offer voters a real alternative to the two major parties.
Kennedy is a well-known environmental lawyer and activist. He has also written several books, including “Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak” and “Crimes Against Nature.”
Kennedy’s decision to run for president is likely to shake up the Democratic primary. He is seen as a threat to President Joe Biden, who is expected to seek re-election in 2024.
