Well….the Biden administration is trying to jail one opponent and won’t give the other Secret Service protection for a family that obviously has always been a target. Yeah democracy🙄
Thank you for letting Kennedy speak on your plateform. It shall be remembered that the media is not all bought. Kennedy 24 ❤
Good luck.
Hes a skum

He’s not independent just grow some balls and run as a republican.
The American people are at a defining moment in our history. It is time for change. Our system is clearly failing us, our supporting structures crumbling around us. RFK is a presidential candidate for these times. I love the idea of him running as an independent as I no longer wish to support a corrupt and ineffective two party system that has only served to divide, polarize and weaken our country. It is time to transcend binary thinking, the warring mentality. Co-creative solutions can never become manifest from polarization and finger pointing. Radical self accountability is our point of power. The American people have the power to change our governing structures, to step outside of the two party system and call in something new instead of standing by and authorizing what has been happening, doing so makes us all guilty as sin. I for one am going to use my vote to call in something new. I will not use my precious vote and my voice to support a candidate out of fear or misplaced party loyalties. RFK junior has my vote 100%. I feel the rightness of this in every cell of my body.
He seems a bit flaky
We need to get Trump off the ballot. Have it be a clear choice between two…three way split favors the Trumpers (not the real Republicans)
remember that cornel west is also running independent so that will get some votes from biden to maybe
The Trump faction is fanatical. If they can't see, after court cases, the proof of Trump's criminal behavior…then they will not be dissuaded. They (Solid Trumpers) are lying about being open-minded. Robert will end up subtracting from biden, giving the presidential advantage to Trump. I bet this IS the point. Look at the money. RFK is in the same ilk as Trump…so it would make sense he would do this as independent…thus peeling the numbers away. It should be JUST between Biden and RFK (eliminate convicted crimes from honor of office). Then it would be fair.
I'm still voting for President Joe Biden because he's a true FDR/JFK liberal Democrat. RFK, Jr… Well, RFK, Jr. is not like his daddy RFK, Sr. because of that vaccine hesitancy nonsense.
according to a recent Rueters poll, Kennedy is at 14%, to bidens 38% and Trumps 40%-
it will be interesting to see what the numbers show after Kennedys announcement-
its anecdotal, but I have heard several Trump supporters say they will lie to the polls and say they are voting Kennedy-
I think Kennedy will hurt biden far more than Trump, Trump voters are voting FOR Trump, biden voters are voting against Trump, they hold their nose while voting for biden, and now they have a viable alternative-
RFK is an embarrassment to his own family so, obviously he's a perfect candidate for the republican party
Finally a third option maybe the mainstream Democratic media will finally recognize RFK running along with Joe an Don can't wait for that cognitive mess in the Whitehouse to vacate
America has become a full blown laughing stock. I’m so embarrassed to have served this country.
Presidential Poll from 1992 Republican – Bush Sr. 33% Democrat – Clinton 34% INDEPENDENT Ross Perot 32 %
RFK JR COULD ACTUALLY WIN if he gets on the ballot in all 50 states and I think the heads of BOTH political parties know this.
reagan republicans for RFK jr
Now the challenge is for NBC allow equal time and to present factual information about Robert Kennedy Jr. without all the false propaganda and outright lies.
Door is open for trump now!!! Trump won't lose his strong base of voters. Joe Biden will!!!
Our government in America declared war on ppl who don't vote, Biden! Just like they did for MLK and JFK. They weapoized the FBI.
They are going to try and separate us with racist lies!
Sadly, we are no longer a free nation!!
the only reagan conservative candidate
join me
just walk away MAGA extremism
the conservative candidate representing conservatives
RFK jr
Now I am really scared, this could split the republican vote, don't get me wrong I whole heartedly support his words, but this could lead to Biden getting a second term if trump is nominated, we do NOT need a democrat in office for the next term. Conservatives need to win this!
Finally an honest candidate!
Mr. Kennedy you have my support, donations, and Vote!🙏❤️
How long before he can’t talk at all!
He is only major candidate not a wef puppet
So, he wants Trump to win😢
I'm very pro third-party but RFK Jr is just a nutter. That said, I welcome this. The Biden administration is counting on making excuses for why he shouldn't have to debate against whoever the Republicans end up with. But if there's other parties asking for a debate and they still refuse, hopefully that'll lead to even more people waking up to the fact that Biden is genuinely unfit for office.
Honestly, I will vote for him over Biden. If trump doesn’t make it then I will vote for RFK Jr.
The Trolls … "Kennedy, he's our man."
The guy sounds like he's not going to make it to this November, much less next November.
He's better than Sleepy Joe
Wow. Now i have to rethink everything.
our new president 2024
As a veteran, I love this man, it is time to end the war industry control of BOTH PARTIES. He isn't a politician, he's a statesman. The world needs Bobby. Period.
YES! He has my vote as a progressive leftie! I won't be voting for Biden again
America is over. Foreign countries incharge of America elections not the modern-day slaves.
I thought he was a nutty but I started listening g to his speeches and he addressed Blackrock vanguard, housing crisis, immigration and it was brilliant. Listen to one of his whole talks it might change your view of him or not but he’s got my vote!!!
It's unfortunate the Democrats control their candidates ability to run, not unlike Putin. I could actually support RFK Jr. way before I could every vote for that crook Biden. Impeach the SOB.
Cowards will stay voting for their Favorite Color of the Uniparty. I choose Better #RFK2024
He will win by a landslide if everyone simply listens to him speak. Not on news outlets but on podcasts.
I'm ridin' with Biden. I would never vote for an anti-science candidate like RFK Jr. There's a reason why his family has called his candidacy an embarrassment.
