Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce his run as an independent in the election.
Per an exclusive report from Mediaite, Kennedy, 69, is planning to announce his third-party run at an event in Philadelphia on Oct. 9.
According to a text reviewed by the outlet, the campaign management for Kennedy is devising a plan to release “attack ads” against the Democratic National Committee so as to “pave the way” for his announcement.
“Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” a campaign insider for Kennedy told Mediaite.
However, Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle, who met Kennedy at an event in Tennesse, told CNN, “I haven’t heard anything official or unofficial about him switching.”
On Sept. 29, Kennedy released a short video for the upcoming event and also teased a “major announcement.”
“I understand that deeply felt concern that people have about the way corruption has overtaken our government. It’s in the executive branch. It’s in Congress,” he said, adding, “It’s in the leadership of both political parties.”
