Biden gets alarming revelation as RFK, Jr. enters 2024 race
On Wednesday, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. officially announced his candidacy for the presidency in 2024, seeking the Democrat nomination. This comes as Joe Biden has not yet made a formal announcement of his candidacy for the 2024 election.
However, Biden got some surprising news, as a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll found 14 percent of Democrat voters already are ready to ditch Biden for Kennedy.
The outlet reported, “In the survey taken Saturday through Tuesday, only 67% of Biden’s 2020 supporters said they would support him for the Democratic nomination over his current challengers. Kennedy stands at 14%, and self-help author Marianne Williamson, a quixotic candidate for the nomination last time, is at 5%. Another 13% are undecided.”
“The poll was taken by landline and cellphone of 600 Biden voters, identified from national and state polls from 2020 to 2022. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.”
That’s a lot of Biden voters who have jumped ship early in the 2024 race, while the Biden administration has taken a sharp left turn away from moderate stances that he leaned in on while campaigning for the presidency in 2020.
“Kennedy drew the support of 33% of Biden voters who disapprove of the job he is doing as president and 35% of those who say his policies in the White House have been ‘too liberal.’ The challenger’s appeal was strongest among self-identified conservatives, younger voters and those who don’t have a college degree,” further reported USA TODAY.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the son of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Sr., who was assassinated while campaigning for the presidency in 1968. He is also the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, who also lost his life to an assassination in 1963.
The current Democrat candidate for president has leaned in on his uncle’s commonsense Democrat policies, with signs at his announcement rally reading, “I’m a Kennedy Democrat.”
