Robert F. Kennedy Jr. entered the 2024 race for president of the United States on Wednesday.
He filed as a Democrat, according to a Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing dated April 5.
Kennedy’s father, former Attorney General Robert Kennedy, was assassinated when running for the presidency in 1968. His uncle, former President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Texas in 1963.
Kennedy signaled earlier in March that he would run.
“If it looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win, I’ll jump in the race,” Kennedy wrote in a Twitter post dated March 10. “If I run, my top priority will be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined our economy, shattered the middle class, polluted our landscapes and waters, poisoned our children, and robbed us of our values and freedoms. Together we can restore America’s democracy.”
Currently, Kennedy has a campaign page soliciting donations from like-minded U.S. citizens.
He is running on a message of “Freedom First” and has positioned himself against what he calls “the elites.”
“Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has spent his life fighting for American democracy and the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution,” his campaign page reads. “He has battled against corporate greed and government corruption to protect our children, our health, our livelihoods, our environment, and above all, our freedom.”
“With integrity, courage, and self-sacrifice, he has led Americans in an ennobling fight to restore our country as the exemplary nation, and to end the toxic polarization that divides us and enriches the elites,” it continued.
Though a registered Democrat, Kennedy is known to oppose many policies of the current administration, including speaking against what he perceives as the harms of experimental injection.
Kennedy, who founded the Children’s Health Defense, has been criticized by advocates of COVID-19 vaccines for spreading alleged “vaccine disinformation.”
Social media platforms such as Instagram banned him from speaking against the vaccine.
