Updated: 5:58 PM EDT Jul 21, 2024
GOOD EVENING SEAN. YOU KNOW, THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE FROM THE KENNEDY COMPOUND OVER THE DECADES. THIS IS THE MOST RECENT WITH ROBERT F KENNEDY JR, WHO IS A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE, MAKING AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HIS HOME HERE ON THE COMPOUND. AT FIRST, HE CAME OUT AND MADE A SHORT STATEMENT, AND HE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN. I WANT TO BEGIN BY COMMENDING PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR A CAREER IN PUBLIC SERVICE FOR A LONG, LONG CAREER AND REPRESENTING AND SERVING OUR COUNTRY AND FOR HIS HANDLING OF THE MANY DIFFICULTIES AND CHALLENGES, PERSONAL CHALLENGES AND TRAGEDIES THAT HE SUFFERED DURING HIS LIFE WITH SO MUCH ADMIRABLE CONDUCT AND THE EMPATHY THAT HE DERIVED FROM THOSE EXPERIENCES THAT HE WAS ALWAYS PROFICIENT. AFTER SAYING A FEW NICE WORDS ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN, THEY THEN TURNED INTO MORE OF KIND OF A CAMPAIGN STUMP FOR ROBERT KENNEDY JR. HE TALKED ABOUT A VARIETY OF TOPICS, BUT WHEN HE STARTED TO END, HE DID WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE LATEST NEWS TODAY. OF COURSE, PRESIDENT BIDEN STEPPING DOWN AS THE NOMINEE. BUT IT’S UNCLEAR WHO WILL BE THE NOMINEE. THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF SUPPORT IN BACK OF VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS, BUT WE ASKED HIM ABOUT THE SITUATION THAT HE TWEETED OUT EARLIER TODAY THAT HE’S HOPING FOR A MORE NEUTRAL POLLING PROCESS IN CHICAGO NEXT MONTH AMONG DEMOCRATS, AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE A CORONATION OF KAMALA HARRIS. HE SPOKE FURTHER ABOUT THAT. HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT HE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE IN THE RACE THAT CAN BEAT DONALD TRUMP, HEAD TO HEAD, BUT HE OFTEN WAS CRITICAL OF THE NETWORKS FOR NOT ALLOWING HIM TO JOIN THAT DEBATE. THUS FAR, IT’S UNCLEAR IF HE WILL MOVING FORWARD ONCE THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A NOMINEE ALONG WITH DONALD TRUMP, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF ROBERT F KENNEDY WAS PART OF THE DEBATE, BUT HE’S NOT COUNTING ON THAT HAPPENING. BUT THE LATEST IS FROM THE KENNEDY COMPOUND. ROBE
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a news conference from the family’s Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port on Sunday afternoon.Kennedy commended Biden for stepping away from the 2024 presidential race. “His infirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning, Kennedy wrote on social media. “It was this progressive deterioration — and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles — that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump.”Kennedy was pushing for the Democrats to “return to its traditional commitment to democracy” with an open process. “Instead of anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites, the party should use neutral polling to identify the candidate who can best beat Donald Trump,” Kennedy’s statement said. “The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information.”
