Robert F. ‍Kennedy Jr. to Run as Independent in 2024 Election

Exciting news ⁤in the political arena! Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy ‌Jr. is set to make a major announcement on October 9 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, there’s a twist⁤ – Kennedy will be running as⁣ an independent instead of as a Democrat, according to Mediaite.

Kennedy himself confirmed⁤ the upcoming announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter, but kept the details⁤ under ⁤wraps. In a teaser tweet,‍ he wrote, “Save the Date, Save the Country. ⁣#Kennedy24” accompanied by a mysterious ⁢image.

In a ⁢recent statement, Kennedy ​shared, “Hi everybody, I’m going to be in Philadelphia on October 9 to make⁢ a major announcement at the very birthplace of our nation. I’m not going to tell you right now‍ exactly⁢ what that announcement ​will be. I can say, though, that if you’ve been waiting to come to one of my public events, this will be the one to come to.”

Mediaite has reported⁤ that the Kennedy campaign is planning ​to launch attack ads​ against the Democratic National Committee in order⁤ to “pave the way” leading up to the event. A campaign insider revealed, “Bobby feels that the DNC ​is changing ‍the rules to exclude his candidacy so an⁣ independent run is the only ‍way to​ go.”

During an interview with Fox News earlier this ⁣month, Kennedy​ expressed his concerns about the DNC’s primary process, stating, “The DNC has been very public, although its charter⁣ requires it to be neutral in presidential campaigns, has been very open about ⁣the fact that it has its candidate. It’s irritated that it has to have⁢ a primary season at all.”

One of Kennedy’s main grievances is the rearrangement of the primary⁣ schedule, with the South Carolina Democratic presidential ⁤primary⁢ taking precedence over the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary. Kennedy argued that this was part of the DNC’s attempt to rig the process.

As the son of the late Attorney General⁤ Robert F. ‍Kennedy, RFK Jr.’s independent⁢ run could potentially impact the 2024 election, particularly for Biden. According to The New York Times, Democrats are concerned that a third-party run by Kennedy could draw votes away from Biden ‌and potentially help former President Donald J. Trump.

It’s worth noting that third-party candidates can have a significant impact on elections. In recent history, Ross Perot’s independent presidential candidacy‍ garnered a substantial 18.9 ‌percent of the​ popular vote, potentially affecting the outcome of the ⁣race between George‌ H.W. Bush ​and Bill Clinton.

If⁤ Kennedy manages to secure even ⁤a small percentage of the vote in key swing states, it could make a significant difference in the election results. Current ‌polling from FiveThirtyEight ⁣ shows Biden with 61.6 percent ⁢support compared to Kennedy’s 15.1 percent.

Stay tuned‍ for more updates on this exciting development in the 2024 presidential race!

How do ​Kennedy’s supporters believe his independent status will bring about much-needed change in ⁤the current two-party system?

T their preference for certain candidates. They’ve done things like move up the debates to support ⁤some candidates and not others, they’ve changed the rules to let Michael Bloomberg into the⁣ debates but not Tulsi Gabbard.”

Kennedy’s decision to run as an independent comes as no surprise to political⁣ pundits who have been closely⁢ following his campaign.

Additionally, without the party infrastructure, he will have to navigate the ⁢complex landscape of ballot access⁢ laws across‍ the country.

Despite these challenges, Kennedy’s‌ decision to run as an independent has sparked excitement among his supporters who are eager to see a new kind of leadership in ⁣Washington.

Kennedy Jr. ​is that leader, but one⁢ thing is certain – his independent run will certainly shake up the ‌political establishment and challenge the status quo.
