Biden Re-Election Campaign:
The Biden team recognizes that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s candidacy could potentially act as a political spoiler in the 2024 election.
While they are not directly orchestrating efforts to disrupt his campaign, they are welcoming the Kennedys’ involvement in countering RFK Jr.'s run.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has appointed Mary Beth Cahill, a former chief of staff to Sen. Edward Kennedy, as a senior adviser to address third-party candidates.
The recent gathering of Kennedys at the White House, including a photograph with President Biden, signifies their commitment to supporting Biden’s re-election 1.
Kennedy Family’s Response:
Some members of the extended Kennedy clan have already issued statements affirming their support for Joe Biden.
The family is stepping up its engagement in the 2024 race to counter RFK Jr.'s campaign.
Their involvement may take various forms:
Campaign Trail: Some Kennedy family members with political experience may actively participate in Biden’s campaign, especially in states where RFK Jr. qualifies for the ballot.
Media Appearances: Others might increase media visibility to counter their relative’s campaign.
Legal Challenges: Initiatives may include legal challenges to RFK Jr.'s ballot access.
Kerry Kennedy, president of the family foundation, has played a lead role in organizing the family’s political efforts against RFK Jr.
The DNC points to the Rose Garden photograph as evidence of where most of the Kennedys stand 1.
Staff Exodus from RFK Jr.'s Campaign:
RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign has faced challenges, including an exodus of staffers who cite issues with leadership, spending, and organization 2.
Potential Impact:
While RFK Jr. may not run against Biden in the Democratic primaries, his candidacy could still derail Biden’s re-election campaign later in the cycle 3.
In this high-stakes political drama, the Kennedy legacy intertwines with the electoral battle, creating a captivating narrative for voters and observers alike.
