"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Enters 2024 Presidential Race as Democratic Challenger"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in a long-shot challenge against President Biden. In a speech in Boston, he criticized the pharmaceutical industry, big social media companies, Mr. Biden’s commitment to the war in Ukraine, and former President Donald J. Trump’s “lockdown” of the country early in the pandemic. Kennedy's campaign is built on re-litigating Covid-19 shutdowns and shaking Americans’ faith in science, with a focus on vaccine skepticism. His campaign has appalled members of his famous Democratic clan, with family members accusing him of sowing distrust in the science behind vaccines.
