Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, is gaining attention and potentially disrupting the traditional two-party electoral dynamics, particularly affecting President Joe Biden's campaign. Kennedy, leveraging his notable last name and a platform that resonates across a broad political spectrum, has attracted a diverse group of supporters, including liberals aligned with Bernie Sanders, conservatives favoring Ron DeSantis, and voters dissatisfied with the prospect of another election featuring Biden and Donald Trump. His campaign, described by supporters as a movement for real change and dubbed 'Camelot 2.0', emphasizes unity over political division and prioritizes the rights of the people and the Bill of Rights. Kennedy has chosen Nicole Shanahan as his running mate, further diversifying his campaign's appeal. Despite skepticism regarding the viability of his independent run, Kennedy's campaign has successfully gathered enough signatures to appear on the ballot in key states, including Idaho, signaling a potentially significant impact on the upcoming presidential election. The campaign has surpassed its signature goal for the June 25th Republican Primary, and Kennedy uses the hashtag #KennedyShanahan24 to rally support for their ticket. Kennedy's supporters are optimistic about his chances, aiming for a victory on November 5th.
I for one think this position is great! Hope many Biden voters choose RFK. The guy that has been right about 1 out of 1 million things. Yea..the vax was/is garbage, but lol. Dudes a sh*tlib https://t.co/row0Hrlt3c

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s possible appearance on the 2024 presidential ballot could damage President Joe Biden's support among Latino voters. https://t.co/duSKz99idU
Yep. A feeling mostly that these voters are casting for someone, anyone, not named Trump or Biden, and Kennedy fits the bill beyond a family legacy forged in the 1960s 👇🏽 https://t.co/Hta6O84S2z
“Like Obama in 2008, or even Trump in 2016, voters can sometimes stamp their own stances and hopes and dreams onto candidates whose images are not quite filled in yet.” I think this is a bigger boost to RFK Jr. than 60 year-old Viva Kennedy rhetoric. Good @Carrasquillo piece. https://t.co/IS78S8RoAz

Biden campaign and allies say Kennedy won’t get more than 1% in key states like Arizona. Still this reveals a problem if he is eating into Biden’s support: Biden’s 2020 AZ margin: 10,457 votes 1 percent of the vote: 33,338 votes https://t.co/ptJe14aU6k

Bobby Kennedy has no chance of becoming President this year since he’s running independent alongside an extremely popular candidate. Nothing that he says he will do matters because he’s not going to do any of it. If he really cared he’d join Trump, get a position and do it.

RFK Jr. did great Pharma work, but he’s not running a real Presidential campaign and he’s just wasting everyone’s time with another false paradigm. It’s like when Republicans fought over Trump & DeSantis like animals for a year. It’s all fake and pointless.
