Kennedy family endorses Joe Biden for president in snub of RFK Jr: Kerry Kennedy compared Biden to her late father Robert F Kennedy - the former US senator and ...
bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-68851620
Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia
- President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.
- Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.
