Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of iconic former President John F. Kennedy, is a Democratic politician who, in the opinion of the Republican Party, could make the primaries difficult for the current president of the United States, Joe Biden. Born on January 17, 1954, he is one of the few Democrats who aspires to reach the White House who has even been praised by former President Donald Trump.
According to The Hill news portal, Trump said, during an appearance on “The Howie Carr Show,” that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a “man of common sense, just like me,” a curious compliment. given the fact that Trump doesn’t often issue approving remarks to Democrats.
“He has been very kind to me. I’ve had a good relationship with him over the years,” Trump said of Kennedy on “The Howie Carr Show.”
In fact, a survey carried out by The Economist and YouGov, reviewed by the Forbes portal, indicated that Kennedy has gained popularity as time goes by and the 2024 presidential elections approach.
Kennedy announced his presidential candidacy in April of this year, and, according to Forbes, part of his popularity stems from two factors:
– His legendary family heritage, which includes being the son of Robert F. Kennedy, assassinated presidential candidate and former United States Attorney General, as well as being the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy.
– His controversial political views, with which he confronts progressivism and has won the support of several Republicans.
According to The Hill portal, Robert F. Kennedy is a particular Democrat, since he constantly questions the media and government agencies, and also the pharmaceutical industry.
He has, in fact, been one of the few Democrats who has questioned the mandatory nature of vaccines, and has even asserted that China is developing “ethnic bio-weapons designed to attack individuals of a certain racial type”, as he said in a segment of Newsmax, according to The Hill.
Likewise, Robert F. Kennedy is a frequent guest on right-wing programs and media and in favor of Donald Trump, such as the aforementioned Newsmax.
However, Robert F. Kennedy is not seen as a political element whose sole purpose is to weaken Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy.
In fact, Robert F. Kennedy’s political team indicated to The Hill that: “We are not trying to weaken Biden. We are going to defeat Biden. Then we’re going to beat Donald Trump, or whoever the Republican nominee is,” which shows his intention to get to the White House.
Brian Seitchik, a Republican who worked on Donald Trump’s last presidential campaign, opined for The Hill that “the more Kennedy is talked about, the worse it will be for Biden,” and that any attention the Democrat generates can be beneficial to Republicans.
Seen as a potential Trojan horse by Democrats and a potential torpedo that could hurt Joe Biden by Republicans, Robert F. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer by profession, continues ahead in the political race to the Oval Office.
It only remains to wait until the Democratic primaries to find out if this “anti-vaccine environmental lawyer”, described by Donald Trump as a man “of common sense”, can be victorious against Joe Biden.
