There is just over a year left for the presidential elections in the United States, and although everything indicates that it is going to be a duel of veterans between Joe Biden for the Democrats and Donald Trump for the Republicans, there could be a third party in contention.
Robert F.. Kennedy Jr, son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK, could be considering running for office as an independent. Until now, Kennedy Jr had run as an alternative to Biden within the Democratic Party.
But now, as reported by the TMZ.com portal, Kennedy Jr unleashed the rumors this Friday saying that on the 9th he is going to make a big announcement. That day he will give a speech in Philadelphia, and some sources suggest that he will distance himself from the Democrats and Republicans and follow his own path.
Kennedy Jr. is apparently at odds with the Democratic National Committee, which he accuses of ignoring his candidacy.. For this reason, he is willing to overshadow Biden as an independent.
Some analysts believe that this could seriously harm the current president, because it would divide the Democratic votes, something that not even Bernie Sanders dared to do.
However, analysts believe that the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr could also harm Trump, because JFK's nephew, who sparked some controversy for being anti-vaccine, enjoys great popularity among large Republican sectors.
