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.

In this forum many see business as always right because they have business backgrounds lobby for business are on the business take as “Conservative Republicans” IMHO.

But “all have sinned” as the Lord said and to question business for its corruption should not lead to one being shouted down as a “Leftist”.

I’m not a Communist, but I think Big Business is corrupt and promotes Social Communism (LGBTQ among other things) with a passion besides the ethical lapses they get away with.

The Big Banks-Big Business crowd gets away with lawbreaking through buying Democrats and Republicans.

The Kennedys are like any other family—some great folks and some awful ones.

I bet most of us can say the same about our families.

RFK Jr. has been fighting the good fight for decades—and in the past couple of years the left turned on him. Before Covid most here had never even heard of him.

His courage is to be admired—Big Pharma is very powerful and they hate his guts.

Each person deserves to be treated as an individual—how they act. They cannot control evil relatives.

He could hire the Dead Kennedy’s to play for his rallies if he ever has one. Not sure dems worry about rallies too much. No need.

Vote for him, if you want a more socialist and schizophrenic nation. “Oh, look—a flying saucer!”

Well, somebody has to do it. I don’t think even Biden’s puppet masters think they can win with him again.

Ted was the gutless wonder who caved to the Deep State—a traitor to his country and his family.

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

He’s a man who is not afraid to speak his mind and suffer the slings and arrows. Perhaps he’ll be a “Kennedy” style democrat like his uncle who did not damage the country - unlike the current one and ones before this one...This is a different country than the one we had in the sixties!

Let’s check out the record - it’s available online - deficits etc., during JFK’s tenure.

Big business and Big Govt go hand in hand.

We should never forget that.

Jfk, Jr. should run. Even though he is dead, the name recognition is better. Death or mental incapacity really don’t matter to Democrats.

Sounds AWESOME to me.

Since so few are willing to put the horrible scamdemic above most all other issues, where it belongs. Nothing else has impacted this country like that since WW2. So if we (Republicans) are going to sacrifice our chance to win on the half Democrat Trump, anyway, at least someone finally opposed to gain of function, and modifyDNA injections might finally get in power.

RFK Jr. would take some of the Chomskyite crazies vote from President Trump in a general election. I’m sure Trump would rather RFK Jr. not run.

Great idea! Let’s give another professional politician with almost zero political accomplishments, certainly zero private accomplishments other than be born a Kennedy the presidency. He’s a Kennedy aren’t they entitled to the job? Let’s get all gooey about it and dream those Camelot dreams!

If he gets the presidency, it will be nothing more than a younger Biden presidency. All left all the time!

If RFK Jr ran it would be a replay of the 1968 Democratic primaries...including the assassination part.

His odds of being the Democratic nominee are exactly zero.

He has as much chance as his dimwitted cousin Caroline would have.
