Another Kennedy is running for office. Usually this is not a shocker of a headline especially from my home state of Massachusetts. However, Robert Kennedy Jr. announcing that he is going to challenge President Joe Biden in the primary is going against the norm in modern day Democrat politics. The nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of his brother Robert F. Kennedy is daring to challenge a sitting president in the Democrat Party where establishment doesn’t tolerate breaks in the ranks. Look at how the Democrat National Committee leadership is whistling past the graveyard ignoring all Biden’s clear signs of dementia. Well, it is the Democrat Party and they did just elect John Fetterman, but still, this is the leader of the free world.
While many pundits are quick to write off Kennedy, he could catch lightning in a bottle for the primary. Biden’s approval ratings are dismal across the board. Right now, he is only polling with 39% of Democrats. Even his own party voters don’t want another four years of him and his policies.
With such low numbers, it makes tremendous sense for a credible candidate to jump into the primary against Biden. Whenever an incumbent’s numbers are under 50%, there is an opportunity to elect a fresh face.
The DNC’s failure to dump Biden and recruit a replacement controllable candidate is Kennedy’s opportunity. Kennedy is reading these polling numbers and seeing the videos of Biden clearly not being able to speak or even walk up a flight of stairs. Today, we learned that Biden is not doing interviews and is stalling his announcement for reelection for as long as possible because they need to keep him under wraps.
While Kennedy has a big name, he does have a huge dilemma to overcome in the primary. He has been outspoken on the anti-vaccine movement. While you and I think his statements support our individual freedoms, you have to remember he is running in the Democrat primary, which is filled with people who wear masks while driving their cars. Kennedy will have a hard time appealing to these nuts.
But much of this problem can be overridden by Biden’s inflation numbers, foreign policy failures and ever-rising energy costs. Moreover, even though Kennedy is 69 years old, he could be the youthful choice especially compared to Biden, who is 80 but appears to be 90.
So, will Kennedy be able to slay this dragon? Time will tell. Remember, the last Kennedy to run was Joe 3.0, and he lost to Ed Markey in Massachusetts, where Kennedys are loved. Also, I believe that Biden is the easier candidate to defeat in the general election, so I hope not.

These Democrats have been in total Chaos ever since Biden took office. So how much more will this Kennedy add.
I wouldn’t give a fart in a windstorm for all of the Kennedy clan put together. But having said that, at least he might be better than the senile old Communist hypocrite who’s currently cursing the Oval Office with his Satanic presence.
I remember when his father challenged Lyndon Johnson, a sitting president, and Johnson decided not to run again. That was in the background of the unpopular Vietnam war
Ms. Holly, thank you! It is indeed hard to fathom, how this vax-iconoclast Kennedy hopes to run as a DemoCreep, er.. sorry: DemoCrat candidate and succeed. Is he a creature of divided loyalties? His party will not accept deviation from The Party Line, methinks.
Good more divide in the Dem camp Hooray
