RFK Jr to challenge President Biden

[Jon Banks]

Robert Kennedy Jr. is the second candidate, after Marianne Williamson, to challenge Joe Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination.

Politico: The Kennedy campaign the Kennedys don’t want to see

No American political dynasty is more familiar with service, sacrifice and scandal than the Kennedys. But many of this Kennedy’s family members want nothing to do with their progeny’s all-but-doomed bid. Several of Kennedy’s siblings and relatives are openly backing President Joe Biden for a second term. Three of them are diplomats for his administration. Just a smattering of his children and grandchildren showed up for his launch. When reached by phone, one of his brothers, Joseph Kennedy, begged off a chance to talk about it all.

“Most American families, they never have any differences with each other. So when it happens with a family, it’s really huge news, like, everywhere,” the now-candidate Kennedy said to laughter from a standing-room crowd that packed the ballroom of the Boston Park Plaza hotel to see him.

----

With the absence of Kennedys — and Democrats — Kennedy surrounded himself on Wednesday with an eclectic mix of vaccine skeptics, independent voters and conservatives, several of whom had flown in from across the country and many of whom were fed up with what they characterized as a corrupt, dishonest federal government. Clad in Kennedy 2024 shirts and pins, they cast the Kennedy outcast as misunderstood, or unfairly ignored.

LOL Marianne Williamson is running to promote her new book and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is being pushed to run by Qanon MAGA radicals Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Roger Stone. Neither one of these loons will get 1%.

Is there no end to the conspiracy theories and blaming of Trump?   Robert KENNEDY Jr. is under the control of the republicans? Next you will be telling us that RFK Jr. is colluding with the Russians.  He is agent of Putin etc.  Again that is KENNEDY.  A leftist icon.  Republicans have nothing to do with the clown show on the Democrat ticket.

Someone should inform Biden voters.  Per USA Today:   

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launches unlikely presidential bid backed by 14% of Biden voters.

The mainstream media isn't sure how to cover (or not cover) RFK Jr's campaign.

RFK Jr. is certainly an odd ball but on the spectrum of current Dem clown show, he is no worse than Ukraine Joe and many others.   At least he doesn't have dementia and his entire family isn't taking millions from foreign governments.   The political establishment hate outsiders like RFK Jr. who are not with the program.  They are not subject to the same influences as those who have sold out.  They can't be controlled by the establishment.  They expect results instead of just enriching themselves.  That can't be allowed.

History repeating itself?  RFK ran in the 1968 election against a failing incumbent Dem president who had gotten the US involved in a senseless war.  And a republican won that election!

Actually, LBJ didn't run in 1968 so it was an open primary.

I don't see RFK Jr as viable in the Dem primaries. Unless someone like California or Michigan's governors jump in, I don't see any real threat to Biden being nominated.
