Why Did The Kennedy Family Endorse Biden Over RFK Jr?
On April 18, the Kennedy family held a press conference in Philadelphia to announce their support of President Joe Biden and a slap in the face to RFK Jr.
The Guardian reported that RFK Jr.'s sister, Kerry Kennedy, led the announcement. "President Biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncle stood for," Kerry Kennedy said.
The independent candidate's sister continued, "That's why nearly every single grandchild of Joe and Rose Kennedy supports Joe Biden. That's right, the Kennedy family endorses Joe Biden for president."
Rolling Stone reports that RFK Jr.'s family, friends, and former work colleagues want him to drop out of the presidential race because they fear he will hand Trump the presidency. A group of environmentalists blasted RFK Jr about running for president and urged him to drop the campaign. But what if being a spoiler for Trump is the point of his presidential run?
RFK Jr as a Spoiler Candidate
Many arrows point to the idea that RFK Jr is running as a spoiler candidate to help Trump and hurt Biden.
