Robert F. Kennedy Jr 'thinking about' launching Democratic challenge to Biden for 2024 White House nomination

'My wife has greenlighted it,' RFK Jr. said of his potential 2024 run for president

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering running for president in 2024, challenging President Biden for the Democratic nomination, and he says his wife approves.

"I am thinking about it yes. I have passed the biggest hurdle, that my wife has greenlighted it," Kennedy told a crowd in New Hampshire on Friday, according to reports.

Kennedy's wife, actress Cheryl Hines, was reportedly attending the speech at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, which for nearly a quarter-century has been a must stop in the Granite State for potential or actual White House contenders.

Kennedy, the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, describes himself as a lifelong Democrat and has faced criticism for his activism against the COVID-19 vaccine.

In his speech, he called the Democratic National Committee (DNC) decision to upset the presidential nominating calendar wrong, as it moves New Hampshire's primary from the first place into the third.

New Hampshire, which prides itself on its well-informed electorate and its emphasis on small-scale and grassroots retail politics, has for a century held the first primary in the race for the White House. While Republicans are making no changes to their presidential nominating calendar in the 2024 election cycle, the DNC last month voted overwhelmingly to approve a new top of the calendar, pushed by Biden, that upends the traditional schedule.

I may not like his principles, but he strikes me as a man of principle.

Well worth repeating. I will not vote for him but I respect him as a man of principals. He is what the democratic party once was years ago.

I doubt it will happen that way in reality too, that’s why I cast it as a hypothetical.

There were never be a ballot with just RFK and Trump. There would at at least also be the Libertarian’s latest goofy offering, with a slight chance they actually put up somewhat decent, like they once did with Barr.

If RFK actually would get the nomination and stay alive to election day and Trump does not find religion on the vaxx issue, the demonrats put up a Newson as an independent and someone on the right runs against Trump as an independent and tag teams with RFK and against Trump on the vaxx issue in the debates.

There will of course still be widespread electoral fraud and it will be fun to watch the fraudsters try to pull it off.

Trump has an out on the vaccine. He had a pretty good contract which Pfizer did not comply with

Yes, I have seen that. Trump has many “outs.” I imagine at some point he is going to go scorched earth on Fauci and all his ilk and call for executions, so I am really not worried about where Trump ultimately comes down on all things plandemic.

But, if, if, if, he doesn’t call out the plandemic as a being a plandemic and RFK does so while a presidential candidate, well, then....

ROFL! Trump made all the final decisions, Fauci was only an advisor. An advisor that Trump claims in multiple interviews he constantly overruled.

The Deep State will kill him.

They wouldn't dare do that to a Kennedy... again... would they?

Honestly though, I don't know where you get traction as a legacy Kennedy in the modern Democrat party. Maybe it gets you news coverage, and the donor core is interested in stability, but the activist core is pretty damned socialist now and they were not pleased that they had to swallow an old straight white guy in Biden.

I suspect that Trump had good cause to believe that the media was going to successfully continue to whip up hysteria over Covid, because, after all, as you will recall, the majority of idiots in this country were so easily whipped up into hysteria in the place.

Trump probably foresaw losing—outright losing, with no fraud necessary—had there been no hope of a vaccine being put out there.

Then, once the demonrats were in power, the death vaxx would suddenly appear one day and be forced on everyone.

So, I don’t think Trump thought there was a way out of this mess without millions dying; he was just trying to minimize how many millions.

Yeah, no way RFK gets the nomination, but in losing a nomination fight he makes a decent showing in, he can go indy or 3rd party, which, I suspect, is what he is planning.

If/When the media pivots on the covid vaccines, and starts zeroing in on all the vaccine injuries, and how Trump ordered all the vaxes before the first test was even run on them, he will get more than enough traction.

Over a 100 comments, and not one person mentioning the most important aspect of an RFK Jr candidacy.....the media and Dem Establishment would be forced to ruthlessly attack a Kennedy.

And not just any Kennedy. RFK Jr is the one Kennedy baby boomer who has the charisma of his father and JFK.

It would be fascinating to see the Uniparty try to destroy him, and burn down the whole Kennedy mythology in the process.

The only way to take down the Uniparty is from both directions. Would love to see RFK Jr be the new Bernie Sanders. He’s got a lot more integrity.

Some of the comments on this thread are so depressing......no, you don’t have to vote for him. But if you see him as just another Lib who’s on the right side of one issue, then you’ve got no clue how screwed up our political system is, and you deserve 1,000 more years of Mitch McConnell.

I don’t see how RFK gets traction in this scenario to be the demonrat candidate. He is too anti-vaxx and too much against Big Pharma for the D’s.

They can put up some mid-Western D Senator to run who goes after Trump for having pressured poor Big Pharma into rushing the vaxseems.

The Demonrats aren’t going to want too many people reading RFK’s books, which would happen if they support him.

RFK’s only path to winning the presidency is to run indy and call for Nuremberg 2.0.

"That would be interesting."


That is exactly what I said, not even 5 seconds before I read your post!

No Civil War if they kill him.

If they did kill him (that is, if he refused to accept the terms they give him, to be controlled opposition), the greatest propaganda machine in history will simply continue its tyrannical grip on America.

“...The Deep State will kill him...”

Some old lyrics immediately came to mind:

“Please to meet you,
hope you guessed my name.
But what’s puzzlin’ you
is the nature of my game.”

He is. He’s a liberal rather than a leftist.

As such, I don’t think he would be remotely acceptable to the current incarnation of the Democrat party.
