EXCLUSIVE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Planning to Announce Independent Run

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.

If it is Trump and Biden again, I would vote for Kennedy. I'm sure I am not the only one who feels that way. So I think Kennedy would do well as an independent or LP candidate.

Has the DNC removed RFK Jr. from ballots?

There hasn't been any primaries yet, what if started winning them?

Good question.

[Snowball]

Good question.

He can't win because the Democrats weighted the power to Superdelegates, who all DS goons.

And given that mostly all Democrat governors and SoS who run the elections can rig a primary anyway, he just really has zero chance as a Democrat.

I think he put some feelers out there and found out.

If he does it, he will get the polling numbers to qualify for the presidential debates. Will Trump refuse to show? Or Biden?

The conjunction you're looking for is "and".

[Suzu]

Running mate needs to be Tulsi Gabbard. Winning ticket!

[oyarde]

i wouldnt vote for gabbard or junior for dog catcher

[Anti Globalist]

Who wants to bet even with the Democratic vote split Biden will still win?

[buck000]

It's tempting to vote RFKJr in just so he can see what the CIA has about his uncle, and do with it what he chooses

It went to court, and the Democrats won their case. The primary is nothing but an informal poll of the ignorant mundanes.

[Swordsmyth]

It's not just that he will take more votes from Trump than from Biden (or Newsom), it's not even that the Dems will make up any lost votes in the cheating while using his candidacy as cover for extra cheating (who would look for votes switched from Trump to RFK?), it's that he is objectively worse than Trump even if he somehow did win.

If he runs 3rd party it will have been his plan all along to hand the election to Biden for his Dem friends.

[Cap]

This is going to be good, Lol, I'm seeing orange flop sweat already in this thread.

[acptulsa]

It's not just that he will take more votes from Trump...

Why?

If the orange thing is as good as you paint him, why isn't he fighting votes off before he gets buried in them?

Maybe Trump should have tried earning our confidence while he had the chance.

[Anti Globalist]

It's amazing how people keep switching back and forth between Trump and RFK Jr. are secretly working together to RFK Jr is secretly working with the Democrats to screw Trump over. As if the Democrats need someone to run third party to take away votes from him. Trump does that already with how much of his own worst enemy he's become.

Very true. Can't say I know offhand exactly what case you're talking about, though.

I really don't think it's true that RFK would pull more Republicans than Democrats. Kennedy is huge with older black Democrats, and with a lot of older white Democrats also. He's also pretty big with immigrants whose families came here in the 1950s-60s. When RFK at the onset, no debates, and no serious campaigning yet was already polling at 20% according to mainstream polls among Democrats, we know how that was probably 25-30% no problem, and could climb even higher in a real primary race. I don't think RFK is going to pull 30-50% of GOP voters by any means.

This seems most likeley to me

[Anti Globalist]

At least we'll be able to appreciate RFK going into the general election debates calling out the COVID vaccines as dangerous while Biden and Trump will most likely keep defending them.

Trump will get far more than enough votes to win before the cheating, just like last time.
But taking more moderates who have learned to hate Biden and the party that uses him is part of trying to make the steal easier.

Trump earned our votes and then some in his 4 years, unless someone really better comes along. (and that's not RFK)

And I smell the scent of people who want to keep Biden's handlers in power, whether it is because they are part of the operation to destroy America or just because they have TDS and would rather die and take the rest of us with them than use him to save the nation.
It's a truly horrendous stench.

Says the king of Projection. Trump and Biden are like 2 different casinos. Which ever one you go to, you are not going to win.

Make the steal easier.

One, how many millions should starving Americans invest in Trump to make the theft somewhat more difficult, do you think? And two, since when is steal a noun?

Trump earned our votes and then some in his 4 years, unless someone really better comes along. (and that's not RFK)

Trump didn't earn anything if someone really better does come along? Did he earn something if someone halfway better comes along? Are you so infatuated that no one better could possibly come along?

I taught you the word projection because I thought it was only fair you understand yourself. And like any partisan (particularly the libs), you've been accusing everyone else of it ever since. Why am I even trying to reason with you?

Just a question, What made you decide to get into clown work as your profession? Is this something you aspired to from childhood? I can't imagine the pay is that great but perhaps the joy you bring to world is your payment. Putting on that makeup everyday has got to be time consuming though. I admire your commitment to being the best clown you can be. Thank you.

Blue state retards will probably still "vote" for Biden, if its Trump v Biden.

Its the red states which could be harmed.

Although in the 2020 Steal, no one really voted for Biden, they just voted against Trump.
