Robert F. Kennedy Jr. runs for U.S. president.

The Democrat wants to succeed Joe Biden.

Could there soon be another U.S. president with the Kennedy name?

At least one family member of the U.S. political dynasty is throwing his hat into the ring. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is applying for the U.S. presidency!

The nephew of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, has officially submitted his application for the presidential candidacy in the United States.

The avowed anti-vaccinationist wants to enter the race for the Democratic Party of incumbent Joe Biden, according to a document filed Wednesday (local time) by Kennedy with the National Election Commission.

"If it looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win, I will run," he tweeted last month.

Kennedy has come under fire for spreading false claims surrounding the Corona vaccination.

Among other things, the former environmental lawyer spread conspiracy theories about the dangers covid vaccination would pose to children. He also accused Anthony Fauci, the leading U.S. infectious disease physician, of "fascism" during the pandemic.

The 69-year-old is the second Democratic contender for the presidential nomination. In early March, 70-year-old author Marianne Williamson had already officially announced her entry into the race.

Biden has not officially announced his intention to run again in the 2024 presidential election. However, a run by the incumbent is widely expected. If he were to seek the highest office of state again, his challengers would first have to prevail against him in internal party primaries.

Both candidates, however, are considered to have abysmal chances of doing so.
