RFK Jr. Set to Make Major Announcement As Speculation Rife He Will Run As Independent

Democratic presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted a video to his social media accounts teasing a “major announcement” next month, as reports speculate he will run for president as an Independent.

“I’m going to be in Philadelphia on October 9 to make a major announcement at the very birthplace of our nation. I’m not going to tell you right now exactly what that announcement will be. I can say, though, that if you’ve been waiting to come to one of my public events, this will be the one to come to,” he began.

“I’ll be speaking about a sea change in American politics and what your part and my part is in that change. A lot of Americans who had previously given up any hope that real change would ever come through the American electorate process have begun to find new hope in my candidacy. And I understand the deeply felt concern that people have about the way corruption has overtaken our government. It’s in the executive branch. It’s in Congress. It’s in the leadership of both political parties. And so, some people feel a kind of cynicism alongside the hope, or they lose hope entirely because they’ve been disappointed so many times,” he said.

“I want to tell you now what I’ve come to understand after 6 months of campaigning: There is a path to victory. The hope we are feeling isn’t some kind of trick of the mind. We all recognize that there’s a genuine possibility of national transformation, and its source is the goodness of the American people,” RFK Jr. continued.

“Our government may be crooked, but our people are kind, brave, and caring. That goodness is stronger than the divisions that are keeping us all apart. I see it every day on the campaign trail. And the more I see it, the more I trust it. And the more I trust it, the more the path to victory becomes visible,” the lifelong Democrat said.

“So how are we going to win against the established Washington interests? It’s not through playing the game by the corrupt rules that the corrupt powers, the vested interests, have rigged to keep us all in their thrall. Instead, we’re gonna have to rewrite the assumptions and change the habits of American politics,” he added.

“We’re going to tap into a mighty surge of people power and reclaim an honest, peaceful, just, and prosperous America. So I am inviting you to join me in Philadelphia on October 9. There I’ll share with you our path to the White House and how we can all participate in healing our nation,” he concluded.
