The decision by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. adds a wrinkle to a 2024 race that's heading toward a likely rematch between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks at a Hispanic Heritage Month event at Wilshire Ebell Theatre on September 15, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. Longtime environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday he will run for president as an independent and drop his Democratic primary bid, adding a wrinkle to a 2024 race heading toward a likely rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Among Kennedy's fans in the crowd were several voters who said they don’t identify as Democratic or Republican and view Kennedy as a truth teller and a breath of fresh air. "The last couple years I’ve been noticing the Republican Party’s been going a way I didn’t like," Snyder said. "Not that I agree with everything that’s happening to Trump, but I think right now he has more baggage than his country needs. The division right now is just terrible. We need someone to bring both sides together to make us work."
"If they jam me, I’m going to look at every option," he said in September at a New Hampshire barbecue held by Republican former Sen. Scott Brown.
