More than 15 members of the storied Kennedy political family will endorse U.S. President Joe Biden at a Philadelphia campaign event on Thursday in a rebuke of Robert F. Kennedy Jr's independent bid for office.
Many in Robert F. Kennedy Jr's elite family - prominent Democrats since the 19th century - have broken with him over his views.
"I can only imagine how Donald Trump's outrageous lies and behavior would have horrified my father, Robert F. Kennedy," Robert F. Kennedy Jr's younger sister Kerry Kennedy will say at the Biden campaign event, according to prepared remarks. "Daddy stood for equal justice, human rights, and freedom from want and fear. Just as President Biden does today."
Kerry Kennedy and other members of the family are then expected to join local volunteers in door-knocking and phone-banking on Biden's behalf, campaign aides said.
Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the slain president, was appointed ambassador to Australia by Biden. She had served as ambassador to Japan under Democratic President Barack Obama.
"I have a big family," Robert F. Kennedy Jr told Reuters last month. "Many of them are working in my campaign. Not everybody agrees with me."
I am really counting on Robert Kennedy Jr. to suck at least 10% of votes from Biden. I know quite a few Independents who like him. A few Republicans I know liked him but are totally turned off by his VP pick. He is a good looking man and has that Kennedy resemblance.

RFKJ made it clear whose votes he was going after when he said yes to reparations. Can't wait to vote for the Bad Orange Man, again.

Do you think having a famous political family background provides an unfair advantage or responsibility in shaping public opinion?
@9LMLWF32wks2W
Having a famous political background most likely give you more popularity amongst voters.

Well off coastal and big city liberals are still gorging on real estate and Wall Street returns... and so things are fine for them. They also have an insatiable need to make sure the working middle class keeps getting reminded that they are lower on the social hierarchy and worthy of denigration. So Democrats go about claiming that the economy is in great shape and it is only Fox News reporting causing the middle working class to mistakenly claim the economy is in bad shape.
What should be a clear telegraph of intent and agenda is the Democrat avoidance of admitting the impact to the lower income cohort that they, the Democrats, claim to be advocates for.

With democrats in charge in most major cities and in charge of the Presidency and the senate, it should be hard for minorities to hear its the republicans fault, for poverty, crime, open borders, and inflation, since so few of them are around and none running the worse cities. Blacks are being abandoned as the minority of choice for the democrats as they see the large influx of hispanics. While the democrats still need the black vote, if Biden wins and steps are taken to legalize the illegals, they won't need the black vote anymore in future elections. The biggest danger for the democrats is that the minority voters get smarter, more educated, and start getting wealth, at that point they won't buy the empty promises made every election period.
Democrats sure seem scared that another Democrat will spoil their goal of turning the USA into California. I think we need more candidates with different views than the two guys at the top of the current heap. Listen to Joe Rogan's interview of Bobby Kennedy, and then tell me he's worse than sleepy Joe. I won't vote for him, but I think most democrats would be better served with Bobby Kennedy than the ailing codger they seem intent on foisting on us. Seriously, listen to the interview, you'll have a lot better idea who Bobby Kennedy is than you will listening to mainstreamers telling you what to think.
