The Kennedys Speak Out: A Unanimous Support for Joe Biden in the Presidential Race
In a significant show of support, the Kennedy political family endorsed Joe Biden for president on Thursday. Fifteen members of the family, including Biden himself, gathered in Philadelphia to express their backing for the Democratic nominee during an event where Biden spoke about his family’s legacy and its influence on his own political life.
Biden highlighted his father, former U.S. Senator and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, as one of his political heroes growing up, alongside Martin Luther King Jr. He emphasized the importance of looking to their examples in difficult times and mentioned having busts of Kennedy and King in the Oval Office. The Kennedys’ support for Biden is particularly noteworthy given that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., another member of the family, is also running for president this year but has faced criticism for his anti-vaccine stance and far-right contacts. While 70-year-old Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s chances at winning are slim in November, it was clear that he would not receive the support of his family this election cycle.
On stage with Biden were other members of the Kennedy siblings, indicating their alignment with him in the upcoming election. Despite Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy within both the Democratic Party and within his family, it was clear that the Kennedys were committed to supporting Joe Biden’s campaign this year.
The presidential race this year features two candidates: Joe Biden and Republican former President Donald Trump.
In conclusion, the Kennedy political family expressed its unwavering support for Joe Biden in a clear statement to its own member competing for a place on the electoral list. Fifteen members of the family attended an event where they showed their commitment to Biden by speaking about their family’s legacy and its impact on their lives while highlighting other politicians who influenced them such as Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy Sr., among others.
While there are some differences between how some members of the Kennedy family have approached politics this election season – with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s controversial views being a notable exception – it is evident that they are all aligned behind Joe Biden’s campaign goals and aspirations for America’s future.
With only a few months left until Election Day 2020, both Democrats and Republicans continue to campaign vigorously with hopes to secure victory over each other come November 3rd!
