Robert F. Kennedy, son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, declared his intention to run for president as a third-party candidate, departing from the traditional path of the Democratic party.
Kennedy Jr. has expressed disapproval of both parties, alleging that the Democratic National Committee manipulated the primary election and condemning the leaders of both parties as corrupt. Despite being considered an underdog candidate, recent surveys indicate that Kennedy Jr. enjoys historically high levels of support for a third-party candidate, and could potentially draw votes away from both Trump and Biden.
