Kennedy Jr., the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, on Wednesday formally launched his 2024 Democratic presidential campaign, vowing to end the merger of state and corporate power.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, a former U.S. attorney general and U.S. senator assassinated while running for president in 1968. Kennedy teased a 2024 campaign on Twitter last month, asking people to visit his website and contribute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve come here today to announce my candidacy for Democratic nomination for president of the United States,\u201d Kennedy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EsuLBPjdt-w\">said<\/a> at the Park Plaza Hotel in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. \u201cMy mission over the next 18 months of this campaign, and throughout my presidency, will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism on our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy became the second Democrat to announce a bid for the White House after longtime author, lecturer, and self-help guru Marianne Williamson announced her candidacy last month \u2014 both seeking to replace President Joe Biden, who said he intends to seek another term but has yet to make a bid official.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy whole family, including myself, have long personal relationships with President Biden,\u201d Kennedy said, adding some of whom work in the current administration and \u201cplain disagree\u201d with him. \u201cAnd they are entitled to their beliefs, and I respect their opinions \u2014 and I love them back. Is it too much to hope that we could have the same thing for our country? We have a polarization in our country today that is so toxic, so dangerous, than at any time since the Civil War.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy said he would focus his presidency on unifying the polarization by discussing common values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to do that by telling the truth to the American people,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy,\u00a0an environmental lawyer\u00a0and a best-selling author, has garnered attention in recent years for his stance against vaccines.<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link c-link--focus-visible\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>He founded a nonprofit organization called the Children\u2019s Health Defense, which on its website shares a vision for a \u201cworld free of childhood chronic health conditions caused by environmental exposures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the pandemic, Kennedy expressed concerns about COVID vaccines, including the suspicion that the death of baseball star Hank Aaron may have been tied to the shots. A medical examiner determined Aaron died of natural causes at age 86.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy made headlines in 2022 for his comments at an anti-vaccine rally where he accused the nation\u2019s leading infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, of orchestrating \u201cfascism.\u201d Kennedy later apologized for invoking Anne Frank and the Holocaust at that same event, and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, called the comments \u201creprehensible and insensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following his announcement, a new national poll from USA TODAY\/Suffolk University surveyed 14% of voters who supported Biden in the 2020 presidential race would cast a vote for Kennedy in 2024. Around two-thirds said they would continue supporting Biden, 5% would back Williamson, and 13% remained undecided.<\/p>\n<p>On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump is seeking another term. Former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson have also entered the 2024 race for the GOP presidential nomination. Others who might join the contest include former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p><em>Daniel Chaitin contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robbert F.
