Kennedy, the Political Outsider: The Appeal of RFK, Jr. in the 2024 Election
2024 Presidential Election,Robert F Kennedy Jr
It might seem strange to call a member of the Kennedy family "a political outsider," and yet Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s outsider label is fueling his quest for the White House this year.
Kennedy's supporters see a man who speaks the truth and is running against "the system."
Kennedy has told supporters, "I know that when I get into the White House, I can give you back your country."
In an age when trust in government is seen as having reached a low point, Kennedy is attracting both Republicans and Democrats.
We met some of those supporters at an RFK meetup in Virginia Beach and heard the words "honesty" and "integrity" often.
