Here’s what Yahoo reported:
The Kennedy family is reportedly backing President Biden over their own family member in the 2024 Democratic primary, CNN reported.
Multiple Kennedy family members signaled that they would not back Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his bid for the Democratic nominee for president, according to interviews with CNN. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist, filed paperwork earlier this month to run in the 2024 primary and challenge Biden, who has yet to formally announce a reelection campaign.
Kennedy is expected to officially launch his campaign Wednesday in Boston.
“Which brother?” Chris Kennedy, who was a former candidate in the Illinois governor’s race, responded when asked by CNN what he thought of his brother’s bid for the White House.
“This is a difficult situation for me. I love my older brother Bobby. He has extraordinary charisma and is a very gifted speaker,” Rory Kennedy, the youngest child of Robert F. Kennedy, said to CNN. “I admire his past work as an environmentalist – because of him, we can swim in the Hudson. But due to a wide range of Bobby’s positions, I’m supporting President Biden.”
The extended Kennedy family, who in their support for #Biden, #Fauci, the CIA, etc. have betrayed #JFK and #RFK.
Their smugness and support for Biden against their brother who is carrying on his uncle’s and father’s legacy is betrayal of the worst kind. https://t.co/JsS5xMqYG1
