It’s warming up to a very exciting campaign season! Robert F. Kennedy Jr, son of the late US Senator Robert F. Kennedy, has filed his paperwork to challenge President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Kennedy, who has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s environmental policies, made the announcement in a speech to supporters on Monday. “I’m here today to announce my candidacy for president of the United States,” he said. “I believe that our country is facing a crisis, a crisis of leadership, a crisis of values, and a crisis of vision. And I believe that I can offer a new way forward.”
Kennedy, 67, has never held political office before. However, he is well-known for his work as an environmental lawyer and his advocacy for environmental causes, such as fighting against the use of pesticides and promoting clean energy.
Kennedy’s candidacy is expected to be met with some skepticism, given his lack of political experience and his controversial views on some issues, such as his opposition to vaccines. However, Kennedy’s supporters say that he brings a fresh perspective to the political arena and that he is a strong advocate for environmental causes.
The presidential election is still more than a year away, and it remains to be seen whether Kennedy will gain traction in the crowded field of potential candidates. No doubt, his entry into the race is sure to shake up the political landscape and make for an interesting election season.
