In the early stages of his 2024 presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gained support from a broad spectrum of voters, leading to speculation that he could run as a Republican or an Independent. But at a Chicago town hall on June 28, the environmental attorney and Children’s Health Defense founder from one of America’s foremost political dynasty families said that will not happen.
“I’m a Democrat. This is who I am,” Kennedy told NewsNation host and town hall moderator Elizabeth Vargas. “This is my identity, but I want my party back.”
