Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Family Opposes Independent Presidential Run

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family members, including Kerry Kennedy, Rory Kennedy, Joseph Patrick Kennedy II, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, have condemned his decision to run as an independent in the 2024 presidential election, stating that he does not share the same values, vision, or judgment. Kennedy announced his independent presidential run in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, declaring independence from the two political parties. He has received support from both sides of the political aisle and could potentially secure the votes of 1 in 7 voters in a matchup between himself, former President Donald Trump, and President Joe Biden. Kennedy's family denounces his candidacy and believes it to be perilous for the country. Prior to his announcement, the 2024 election was between Biden and Trump, but Kennedy's run marks a potentially significant change.
