Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared to caution the Democratic Party Sunday against automatically naming Vice President Kamala Harris its new presidential nominee.
President Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw from the race in a letter shared to X Sunday. The president noted while he always intended to continue his campaign, he has realized stepping aside is best for both the Democratic Party and the U.S. as a whole.
In a follow-up post, Biden also formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket.
Kennedy wrote on X shortly after the announcement that he applauds Biden's decision. He added that the president's "progressive deterioration" and "abandonment of Democratic Party principles" are what motivated him to launch his own presidential campaign.
Yet the response of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] was to try and hide President Biden’s degeneration from the American public and disable democracy to ram him through to his party’s nomination," Kennedy said. "Many Americans fear that the same DNC elites are about to rig the nominating process again to get a monumentally unpopular vice president to step into President Biden’s shoes."
The independent candidate went on to caution the Democratic Party against "anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites." He urged the party to assess "neutral polling" numbers to determine who is best fit to beat former President Donald Trump in November.
"The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information," Kennedy said.
"If they had done this to begin with, I would not have had to leave the Democratic Party," he concluded.
That would be rassist.
They was Ridin with Biden
Now they Abandoned Brandon.
Does he have anyone in mind? ** CHORTLE **
any chance Democrats would put Kennedy on the ticket?
If so, it is going to be dollar and power weighted. That is Democrat democracy.
and where is Bernie Sanders? I would think he would want it
RFK Jr. is going to stir the pot.
The Democrats are going to try to claim they have an “open” process.
If it were, RFK Jr. would have to be reckoned with.
He could be just as competitive as Barry’s reference to an “unnamed” nominee.
lol, they’re not gonna pick you, dude.
Bad news: Trump wins it.
So a fair, honest election with average citizens’ votes counted without fraud?
Politicians will never go for that.

The 2024 DNC is going to make the ‘68 DNC look blissful.
I wonder how a Hillary/Bobby ticket would poll.
Truer words were never said!
;>)
LOL! He is a degenerate!
“RFK Jr. is going to stir the pot.”
_______________
It would appear he’s already doing that. 😉
The people voted for Biden. He was their candidate. Now who gets to pick?
Too late. They would lose $200 million in campaign money and as the days tick by, there’s no way to change who’s on the ballots as every state’s deadline kicks in.
Kamala is not automatic. It’s only right. So when are the democrats right? We should point out how they (end-justifies-the-means) do things.
Just tuned into RFK’s press conference / speech.
His voice sounds horrible, and I am not sure what he is trying to say.
