JFK's nephew runs for president in the US

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has launched a longshot bid for the US presidency, challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic Party’s 2024 nomination. Kennedy, the son of 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, filed his statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday. He and self-help author Marianne Williamson have become the first two Democratic candidates to enter the race, presumably taking on 80-year-old Joe Biden, who has indicated that he plans to seek re-election despite already being the country’s oldest ever president. Kennedy, 69, will have name recognition on his side as he campaigns for the presidential nomination, but has been attacked over his opposition to Covid-19 vaccine mandates.
