In what are truly joyous tidings, RFK Jr. is reportedly on his way out of the backdoor at the Democrat Party – which made it abundantly clear he was not welcome at any rate – and is set to run in the 2024 presidential election as an independent.
Via Mediaite:
“2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce he will run as an independent on October 9 in Pennsylvania, Mediaite has learned.
Kennedy’s campaign machine is now planning “attack ads” against the Democratic National Committee in order to “pave the way” for his announcement in Philadelphia about running as an independent, according to a text reviewed by Mediaite.
“Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” a Kennedy campaign insider told Mediaite.
Kennedy, a notorious anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist challenging incumbent President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, has been flirting with a third party run in recent weeks. The New York Times reported last week that he met with the chair of the Libertarian Party, raising the prospect of a departure from the party that decades ago became synonymous with his family name.
Kennedy remains far behind Biden in the polls. Yet while the Times reported “Democrats worry that a third-party run by Mr. Kennedy could draw votes away from Mr. Biden and help elect former President Donald J. Trump,” it’s unclear whether such a run would hurt the current president more than the Republican nominee.”

Assuming that RFK Jr. makes it through the trials and tribulations ahead of him – if he thought he was under fire while still nominally in the Democrat fold, he’s got another thing coming now – this will almost surely signify the death of the Brandon entity’s electoral aspirations.
The only way the corporate state will be able to tip the scales at this point would be unprecedented, arguably impossible levels of voter fraud that would make 2020 dwarf in comparison.
Disillusioned Democrat voters will flock by the millions to RFK Jr. if it comes down to him, Cornel West, Brandon, and Trump in the general.
If you’re one to offer a prayer in times of need, consider one for RFK Jr. This man has become an existential threat to the Democrat Party, and they’ll do literally anything to incapacitate him by hook or by crook.
