Kennedy Jr. has claimed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused the Democratic Party of \u201canointing a candidate hand-picked by elites\u201d and urged them to return to an \u201copen process\u201d of selecting a nominee for the upcoming November elections\u2014while also claiming only he can beat former President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following U.S. President Biden\u2019s announcement on Sunday that he would not be seeking re-election, RFK Jr. commended him \u201cfor stepping down,\u201d saying that Biden\u2019s \u201cinfirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was this progressive deterioration\u2014and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles\u2014that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump,\u201d RFK Jr., who initially entered the presidential race as a Democrat but dropped out after being blocked by the party from challenging Biden in the primaries, said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He then slammed the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for \u201crigging\u201d the nomination process by getting \u201ca monumentally unpopular vice president to step into President Biden\u2019s shoes,\u201d arguing that \u201cit\u2019s the easiest way to hold onto the money,\u201d referring to campaign finance rules that make transferring funds from the incumbent president to his running mate possible during the election cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI call on the Democratic Party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process. Instead of anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites, the party should use neutral polling to identify the candidate who can best beat Donald Trump. The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information,\u201d RFK Jr. concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later in the day, he called a press conference at his family home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, where he criticized the DNC for trying to hide Biden\u2019s health issues, claiming that it was done to prevent any other candidate from competing with the incumbent \u201cin a way that would expose his deficiencies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy also took a jab at both Republican nominee Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, who was endorsed by President Biden for the Democratic Party nomination, saying that they conceal \u201cthe real purpose of their objective\u201d and represent \u201ccorporate interests rather than the interests of the American public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RFK Jr. then stated that he would be willing to accept the Democratic nomination if it was offered to him, arguing that he is \u201cthe only presidential candidate who can beat Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believe at this point it\u2019s a two-man race or two-person race. Let me put it that way. And, you know, I\u2019m in the best position to win,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to various polls, Kennedy currently stands to win around 10% of the national vote. His campaign claims to be pro-choice and pro-environment and decries \u201ccorporate capture,\u201d the affordability crisis, and \u201cforever wars.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kennedy has blasted the Democratic Party for \u201canointing\u201d the elites\u2019 pick Kamala Harris without any contest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[207,209,210,49,208],"class_list":["post-631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news","tag-democratic-party","tag-donald-trump","tag-prativad-ai","tag-prativad-news","tag-president-trump"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
