Senators from both parties are expressing concerns that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign may impact the 2024 election in favor of either former President Trump or President Biden. Democrats, in particular, are worried that Kennedy, with his family’s legacy in the Democratic Party, might draw votes away from Biden, potentially helping Trump.
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) fears that Kennedy’s candidacy could benefit Trump more, suggesting he is being used. Kennedy’s recent declaration that Biden is a “much worse threat to democracy” than Trump has alarmed Democrats, who see his rhetoric aligning with Trump’s.
Despite Kennedy’s family members publicly opposing his bid, his campaign has garnered enough support to potentially qualify for ballot access in several key states. This unexpected traction has led lawmakers to draw parallels with Ross Perot’s role in the 1992 presidential election, where he was seen as a spoiler candidate.
Republican senators, while acknowledging that Kennedy could siphon votes from Trump, believe he may hurt Biden more. They note that Trump is actively working to distinguish himself from Kennedy, emphasizing the latter’s liberal stances.
The Democratic National Committee is taking Kennedy’s campaign seriously, setting up a team to monitor his efforts to get on the ballot in swing states. Some Democrats argue that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance and his support for conspiracy theories align more closely with Trump than with Biden.
Kennedy’s campaign has been controversial, with some of his family members publicly opposing his candidacy and a campaign staffer being fired for misrepresentation. Despite this, Kennedy’s team claims to have enough signatures to qualify for ballot access in several states, including key battlegrounds.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) suggests that Kennedy’s candidacy could have unpredictable effects on the race, potentially drawing out voters who wouldn’t normally participate. He also notes that the race is so close that any third-party candidate, including Kennedy, could swing the election in either direction.
Overall, the entry of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the presidential race has injected a new layer of uncertainty into the 2024 election, with both parties closely watching his campaign’s impact.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
