Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has launched an independent presidential campaign. His decision to run independently stems from dissatisfaction with both major party nominees, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump which echoes the sentiments of some Americans. Recent polling indicates that Kennedy could be the most formidable independent candidate since Ross Perot, drawing roughly equal support from both Biden and Trump.

His anti-vaccination stance may give him more room to attract Republican voters1. While Democrats aren’t enthusiastic about Biden’s campaign, Kennedy likely won’t pull them away significantly. Ultimately, his independent bid could impact the 2024 race, potentially hurting Trump. Kennedy’s campaign is backed by a super PAC, American Values 2024, which already has substantial funding.

He declared his “independence from the Democratic Party” which his family has been a aprt of for decades. His goal is to heal the political divide. Longtime environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist, Kennedy will likely face off against Biden and the Trump.
