BOSTON—Just a few miles from the homestead where his family’s dynasty in U.S. politics began, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially announced his campaign for the presidency on April 19, becoming the first Kennedy since 1979 to make a bid for the White House and the third to challenge a sitting president.

“I come here to announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the president of the United States,” Kennedy said, as cheers erupted from the crowd that gathered at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.
