Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, plans to run for president as an independent candidate.
The presidential elections in the United States will take place next fall. They will be preceded by primaries in the Republican Party. Donald Trump is the clear favorite to win the nomination. In the polls, the former president maintains a huge lead over the rest of the contenders.
At this point, the Democrats will be represented by Joe Biden. It is a tradition in the US that there is no competition from his party against the president running for re-election, so there are no primaries.
Kennedy Jr. as an independent candidate
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. however, is very popular with the Democratic electorate. Even in the United States, there was speculation for some time that he would decide to challenge Biden. However, he would probably have no chance against the incumbent president, as he is significantly ahead of him in the polls.
Now Democrats fear that the popular politician could steal votes from 80-year-old Biden. The new candidate could also pose a threat to Donald Trump. According to some polls, Kennedy is supported by more Republicans than Democrats. His views are largely right-wing.
Let us remember that John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas in 1963. The politician is also the son of former US Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who was also assassinated during the election campaign when he was running for president.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been described as an ‘anti-vaxxer’ by supporters of Covid sanitism.
