Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Enters 2024 Presidential Race
Announces Campaign, Seeks Independent Candidacy
Former Democratic Party Member Runs as Independent
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., born January 17, 1954, has announced his candidacy for the 2024 United States presidential election on April 19, 2023. Known for his environmental advocacy and opposition to vaccines, Kennedy declared his independence from the Democratic Party on Monday in Philadelphia, ending his campaign for the Democratic nomination.
As an independent presidential candidate, Kennedy hopes to attract a diverse following from across the political spectrum. He aims to address environmental concerns, promote vaccine safety, and advocate for other issues he believes are not adequately represented in the current political landscape.
President Joe Biden has directed the US Secret Service to provide protection for Kennedy as a recognized independent presidential candidate. Kennedy's entrance into the race adds an unpredictable element to the 2024 election, as analysts speculate about his potential impact on the political dynamics and voter turnout.
