Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy announced on Wednesday that he would officially be running for president as a Democrat in 2024.
The news of Kennedy Jr.'s run for president was expected after filing paperwork to run for president earlier this month. (RELATED: It's Official – A Kennedy Is Running For President Again)
“If it looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win, I'll jump in the race. If I run, my top priority will be to end the corrupt,” Kennedy said hinting at a presidential campaign in March.
Kennedy joins self-help author Marianne Williamson in formally entering the Democrat primary field. President Joe Biden has said he intends to seek another term but has yet to make a bid official.
RFK Jr. has already received some intense criticism from both sides of the aisle. Democrats have taken particular issue with the Democrat's anti-vaccine stance and even members of his own family have told reporters they do not intend to support his campaign.
“This is a difficult situation for me. I love my older brother Bobby. He has extraordinary charisma and is a very gifted speaker,” Rory Kennedy, the filmmaker and youngest child of Robert F. Kennedy, told CNN. “I admire his past work as an environmentalist – because of him, we can swim in the Hudson. But due to a wide range of Bobby's positions, I'm supporting President Biden.”
“I prefer not to talk,” texted Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor who's now an adviser on retirement at the Labor Department, when asked about the frustration within the family about her brother's run.

Why are you using a picture of demented Old Joe in an article accouncing that Robert F. Kenney is running for President? Is this reverse psychology or something or just plain poor journalism?
Seems to me that, after all the “accomplishments” the Democrats have achieved for America over the past few years, anyone wanting to run on the Democrat ticket in 2024 is completely out of touch with reality.
