RFK Jr teases major announcement as speculation
swirls about independent run
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy
Jr. is teasing a "major announcement," fueling
speculation that he will be running as an independent.
"I'm going to be in Philadelphia on October 9 to
Republican National Committee make a major
announcement at the very birthplace of our nation,"
Kennedy said in a video announcement released Friday.
"I'm not going to tell you right now exactly
what that announcement will be. I can say, though, that
if you've been waiting to come to one of my public
events, this will be the one to come to," he teased.
While the video stopped short of saying he would no
longer be running as a Democrat, Kennedy did call out
the "corruption" that has overtaken "the leadership of
both political parties" in addition to the executive
branch and Congress.

"So
how are we gonna win against the established Washington
interests? It's not through playing the game by the
corrupt rules that the corrupt powers, the vested
interests have rigged to keep us all in their thrall.
Instead, we're gonna have to rewrite the assumptions and
change the habits of American politics" Kennedy said.
"We're gonna tap into a mighty surge of people
power and reclaim an honest, peaceful, just and
prosperous America. So I am inviting you to join me in
Philadelphia on October 9. There I'll share with you our
path to the White House and how we can all participate
in healing our nation."
When asked for comment,
Kennedy's campaign sent the campaign video to
Republican National Committee Fox News
Digital and added "Save the Date, Save the Country."

According to a report from
Mediaite, his campaign will release "attack ads" against
the Democratic National Committee that will "pave the
way" towards his relaunched candidacy.
"Bobby
feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his
candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,"
a campaign insider told Mediaite.

Kennedy has been vocal with his criticism towards the
DNC, especially over its refusal to host primary debates
as he and spiritual guru and former 2020 candidate
Marianne Williamson have formally challenged President
Biden.
The RealClearPolitics average of polls
show Kennedy at roughly 15% against
Republican National Committee Biden's 65%,
though polls continue showing that many Democratic
voters would prefer see someone other than the
80-year-old incumbent at the top of the ticket.
However, Kennedy's potential entry as an independent
candidate will fuel questions whether his presence in
the 2024 race will hurt President Biden more or former
President Trump. Recent polls indicate that Kennedy has
a much higher favorable rating among GOP voters than
Democrats due to various positions that oppose the
Democrat establishment.
