Robert F. Kennedy Jr., long feared by Joe Biden supporters as a major challenge in the 2024 presidential race, now has announced he’ll run as an independent, meaning Biden will not be able to dispose of his candidacy before election day, if then.
The Washington Examiner reported Kennedy confirmed Monday he’ll switch from the Democratic Party, where he was up against Biden, to an independent bid for the White House.
“During a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, speech which his campaign billed as a ‘historic announcement,’ Kennedy, 69, spoke in front of a sign that read ‘declare your independence,’” the report said.
“I’m here to declare myself an independent candidate,” he said.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

“That’s not all. I’m here to join you in making a new declaration of independence for our entire nation. We declare independence from the corporations that have hijacked our government. We declare independence from Wall Street, from Big Tech, from Big Pharma, from big [agriculture], and the military contractors and their lobbyists,” he added.
And he singled out one industry.
“We declare independence from the mercenary media that is here to fortify all of the corporate orthodoxies from their advertisers and urge us to hate our neighbors and to fear our friends. We declare independence from the cynical elites who betray our hope and amplify our divisions.”
Just days ago, Politico had reported on the fears among Biden supporters of this very move, and how they were scheming to remove such challenges.
It was Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, who “convened a Zoom call with 30 other like-minded donors this week to address a persistent fear among national Democrats: Third-party candidates who could undercut Joe Biden’s campaign.”
There’s also a political group called No Labels that actively has been petitioning to be added to ballots across the country.
Participants in the call reportedly worried that that independent candidates would inevitably hurt Biden.
Matt Bennet, of Third Way, claimed, “Biden wins a head-to-head with Trump, so as long as we can hand him that, he can win. But [third-party candidates] will make it very hard.”
Politico reported those fears are flooding in to the Biden campaign.
“It’s not just No Labels that has gotten their attention. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is another potential spoiler for Biden — should he run as an independent, as anticipated — along with recently-minted independent candidate Cornel West,” the report said.
In fact, multiple polls show President Trump leading Biden in a two-way race now too, following congressional investigations uncovering what apparently was a Biden family scheme to sell access to Joe Biden to foreign nation in return for payments of tens of millions of dollars.
Further, the White House repeatedly has claimed the American economy, which has caused concern for a vast majority of Americans, actually is improving their lives. Biden’s economy, of course, has included inflation as high as 9.1%, costing American families thousands of dollars more just to keep their ordinary lifestyles.
The Examiner reported that Kennedy, the son of late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, already has cut into Biden’s Democratic primary support, collecting 17% of the support in a recent poll, to Biden’s 70%.
The report noted, “A new poll from Reuters/Ipsos last week showed that he could hypothetically secure the votes of 1 in 7 voters in a matchup between himself, former President Donald Trump, and Biden. In a poll between the three, he garnered 14%, while Biden had 31% and Trump had 33%.”
The Hill reported his announcement “theoretically puts him closer to voters who are unhappy with both political parties, hyper-partisan politics, and want an alternative to the expected Biden-Trump options next November.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
