Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces presidential bid as a Democrat.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist, has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in 2024 as a Democrat. The 69-year-old is the son of former New York senator, US attorney general, and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy's top priority, if elected, would be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined the economy, shattered the middle class, and robbed Americans of their values and freedoms.
