Some Democrats say that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a fringe candidate who spreads conspiracy theories. Others believe that a surge of early support for his 2024 presidential campaign signals discontent with President Joe Biden’s job performance and bodes poorly for the incumbent’s reelection.

In the early stages of his campaign, Kennedy generated support from independents, as well as conservative and moderate Republicans, leading to speculation that he could run as a Republican or an independent.
