President Biden has another Democratic challenger vying for the presidency following Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filing paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday.
Kennedy, the son of late former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of the late former President John F. Kennedy, is now the second Democrat to toss his hat into the race for the White House, joining spiritual advisor and author Marianne Williamson in seeking the party's nomination.
A Kennedy adviser wouldn't independently confirm his candidacy, but told Fox News Digital "the campaign will issue a statement tomorrow."
Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer who describes himself as a lifelong Democrat and has faced criticism for his activism against the COVID-19 vaccine, sparked speculation about a potential White House run by visiting New Hampshire, which for a century has held the first primary in the presidential nomination race
"I’m thinking about it, and I’ve passed the biggest hurdle, which is my wife has green lighted it," Kennedy said at an event at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, which for more than two decades has been a must stop for actual or potential presidential contenders from both major parties.
He took aim at the Biden administration and Democratic National Committee over the decision to move the New Hampshire presidential primary out of its position as the first in the nation primary. The state will now vote second in the DNC’s calendar, along with Nevada, three days after South Carolina, under the new schedule.
