2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce he will run as an independent on October 9 in Pennsylvania, Mediaite has learned.
Kennedy’s campaign machine is now planning “attack ads” against the Democratic National Committee in order to “pave the way” for his announcement in Philadelphia about running as an independent, according to a text reviewed by Mediaite.
“Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” a Kennedy campaign insider told Mediaite.
Kennedy, a notorious anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist challenging incumbent President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, has been flirting with a third party run in recent weeks. The New York Times reported last week that he met with the chair of the Libertarian Party, raising the prospect of a departure from the party that decades ago became synonymous with his family name.

We’ve never been smart enough to exploit the fissures within their party. They’re smarter than us. They may jus do it for us.
Face it. The rats are a loose party of people who really don’t like each other. I just ma yup my contribution to a hundred bucks for Cornel West(Green). Kennedy will get a lot of money on his own. I may help anyway.
Excellent. That’s going to hurt the Donkeys even more.

Yep. As you probably know, there has already been one alarming incident. An armed man with a fake police badge tried to pass himself off as a member of RFK Jr’s security detail. But RFK Jr is not stupid. He hired an elite private security team. The team stopped the imposter.

As as a side note, I find this to be very suspicious. A dozen or so people are running for president in 2024. Dozens more are running for the Senate, etc. This fake cop just happened to pick a rally held by Biden’s only primary opponent.
The fact that RFK Jr has been threatening the Democrats with an independent run if they slanted everything so massively against him tells you all you need to know. If his independent run would hurt Trump more than it hurts Biden, he wouldn’t be threatening to do it would he?
They both know it hurts Biden more.
Call me crazy, I live in HELLINOIS where Trump doesn't have a chance UNLESS RFK JR is on the ballot and splits the Biden vote.
Curious what kind of grass roots effort there will be in this craphole of a state to put RFK JR on the ballot and whether I, as a Trump Supporter should help that effort out?
Opinions, please!
Typical.
Other reporting and Kennedy's own announcements reveal that after the Dems changed the first-in-the-nation primary from NH to SC and it looked like Kennedy would get Democrat votes in NH anyway, embarrassing Biden, the DNC changed the primary rules so that any Democrat candidate who sets foot in NH to campaign is penalized and any votes he gets are given to Biden.
Wow.
This is very, very bad.
He isn’t going to take nearly as many votes from Biden as he will from Trump.
Even if Manchin goes indy he’ll still caucus with the Dems. Just like Sanders and King.
LOL. Rush would love your lead in.
You are nuts and so wrong.
When Trump wins, RFKJr can be the head of the CDC.
A couple weeks ago an armed gunman got close to him at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. That is on Wilshire Boulevard about 2 miles east of the site of the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard. RFK Jr should stay away from Wilshire Boulevard.
Run RFK, run! Hell, send him a check! RFK will definitely peel Libs away from Biden.10% from Biden would be great!
Joe will have to come up with 103 million votes instead of just 83 million. Time to get the ballot press fired up. Also, he’ll need some more Zuckbucks.
> RFK is aiding and abetting Deep State in another steal. <
I don’t know about that. Biden got a lot of votes from older Democrats based on name recognition alone. The Biden name was magic. I’m guessing with older Democrats the Kennedy name is even more so.
Quick side story: An older guy I know is a devout Catholic and an old-school Democrat. He has two pictures on his fireplace mantel. On one side is the pope. On the other side is JFK.
I don’t talk politics with him. But I suspect he just might abandon Biden for Kennedy. After all, there is no picture of Biden on the mantel.
“I think the democrats will pill something”
Hope he gives the middle finger to the DNC
Id bet 1000 bucks that all these commie media fools who keep on touting the vaccine never actually got vaccinated..I want to see proof they even got the shot
