Robert F. Kennedy: Uniting Americans in 2024
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy recently expressed his commitment to bringing people together and avoiding personal attacks. During a town hall hosted by News Nations in Chicago, Kennedy emphasized the importance of bridging the divide between Americans.
“I’m not going to attack other people personally,” Kennedy stated. “I don’t think it’s good for our country.”
“What I’m trying to do in this race is bring people together and bridge the divide between Americans.”
“I’m proud that President Trump likes me, even though I don’t agree with him on most of his issues.”
Kennedy, who announced his presidential campaign in April, is one of two candidates challenging President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination. Notably, Kennedy has garnered support from influential figures on the right, including former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, talk show host Tucker Carlson, and Alex Jones.
Even President Trump has praised Kennedy, stating, “He’s been very nice to me. I’ve actually had a very nice relationship with him over the years. He’s a very smart guy and a good guy.”

Impressive Support for Kennedy
President Trump has also acknowledged the surge of support for Kennedy’s 2024 presidential campaign, stating, “He’s doing really well. I saw a poll; he’s at 22. That’s pretty good! That’s pretty good, doing very well.”
Despite their political differences, Kennedy remains focused on his goal of bringing people together. He feels flattered by the wide spectrum of supporters he has garnered.
“I want to bring people together. I’m proud that all these people like me, and that I have independent supporters and Democratic supporters, and I’m able to bring a lot of people,” Kennedy expressed.
“Every Democrat says, I want to end the polarization. But how do you do that without talking to people who don’t agree with you?” he continued. “My purpose is to find the issues of values that we have in common other than focus on the issues and the personalities that keep us all apart.”

‘I Don’t Have a Plan B’
Speculations have arisen about Kennedy potentially running as an independent, which some Democrats fear could harm President Biden’s chances and open the door for Trump’s return to the White House. When asked if he would support President Biden if he didn’t secure the nomination, Kennedy responded, “Oh, of course, I’m not gonna do that.”
Pressed further on whether he would support a Republican candidate or run as an independent, Kennedy firmly stated, “My plan is to win this election, and I don’t have a Plan B.”

Kennedy holds differing views from President Biden and progressive Democrats on various issues. As an environmental attorney and the founder of Children’s Health Defense, Kennedy has established himself as a prominent figure in advocating for children’s health.
