The 69-year-old has been repeatedly criticized in the past for spreading false claims about corona vaccination.
The nephew of former President of the United States John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, put forward his candidacy for the presidential candidacy of the United States. The declared opponent of vaccination wants to run for the Democratic Party of current President Joe Biden, according to a document presented by Kennedy to the national election commission on Wednesday (local time). The 69-year-old is the second Democratic candidate for the presidential nomination.
In early March, 70-year-old author Marianne Williamson officially announced her entry into the race. Kennedy himself has been repeatedly criticized in the past for spreading false claims about corona vaccination.
Biden has yet to officially announce his candidacy.
Biden has yet to officially announce that he intends to run again in the 2024 presidential election. In general, an incumbent candidacy is expected. If he were to try again for the highest state office, his opponents would first have to prevail against him in the internal party primaries. However, both candidates have extremely bad odds for this.
In addition to former President Donald Trump, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson are also in the running for the Republican presidential nomination.
