The Controversial Campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
TL;DR
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist, is running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2024 and gaining surprising traction despite being viewed as a fringe candidate by the national party. Kennedy's campaign is based on ending the "corrupt merger of state and corporate power" and he has won support from powerful allies across the political spectrum. While President Joe Biden is all but assured to win the nomination, Kennedy could prove a damaging distraction, particularly if Iowa and New Hampshire defy Biden's wishes to put South Carolina first on the Democratic primary calendar.
