Six members of the Kennedy family, including siblings of independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, have endorsed Joe Biden for president, as a rebuke to RFK Jr's independent candidacy. This endorsement occurred at an event in Philadelphia, where three of the endorsing Kennedys appeared with Biden. The Kennedys have chosen Biden over RFK Jr for his 'moral leadership' and 'saving our democracy'. RFK Jr has dismissed the criticism and Biden's campaign is working to neutralise his impact as a spoiler candidate.
