Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family members have condemned his decision to run as an independent in the 2024 presidential election, claiming that he "does not share the same values, vision or judgment."
Kennedy's announcement on Monday follows weeks of speculation that the candidate would leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent. The statement from Kennedy's family, which claimed that his announcement was "deeply saddening," was signed by four of his siblings: Kerry Kennedy, Rory Kennedy, Joseph Patrick Kennedy II, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
"The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous to our country," the statement read. "Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country."
