Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a third-party presidential candidate, revealed on Sunday that other Democrats are set to follow his lead and endorse former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
In an interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream, Kennedy disclosed that Trump is expected to make several announcements in the coming days, featuring endorsements from Democratic politicians. This development comes on the heels of Kennedy’s own decision to suspend his campaign and throw his support behind Trump.
Kennedy, who has been critical of the Democratic Party, described it as a party beholden to “corruption, big tech, big donors, big Pharma, and big money.” His comments have sparked tension within his own family, with his sister Kerry Kennedy taking to social media to express her disappointment and frustration with his decision.
Kennedy’s family has strong ties to the Democratic Party, with some members working for the Biden administration and a long-standing friendship between the Kennedy’s and the Biden’s. Despite this, Kennedy downplayed the rift with his family, saying that disagreements are a natural part of their relationship.
“I come from a family that values debate and passionate discussion,” Kennedy said. “We were raised to disagree and still love each other. My family members are free to take their own positions on these issues, and I respect that.”
Kennedy, who is running as an Independent candidate, will be actively campaigning for Trump under the banner of “Making America Healthy Again.” He claims to have discussed this issue with Trump, who reportedly wants to leave a legacy of healthy children.
