A recent CNN poll found President Joe Biden’s approval rating at 39%, and a majority of American voters do not want a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024. The fact that CNN’s morning news show last week highlighted the bad news for Biden could be viewed as a warning sign that its time to find another candidate.
That search should include all of the democratic presidential hopefuls, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So far CNN and MSNBC have labeled Kennedy either a long-shot candidate, or in the case of CNN host Jake Tapper, have refused to interview Kennedy for a Town Hall and have called him a crackpot.
In the many online interviews RFK Jr. has conducted, he has talked about a lot of other issues on the minds of the American people. But one issue he won’t comment on are the indictments against former President Trump or accusations against President Biden or Hunter Biden.
Instead, Kennedy is talking about the shrinking and forgotten middle class. He is talking about how young americans can’t afford to buy a home.
He is talking about how we should stop our forever war economy, stop funding the war in Ukraine, and use that money here at home.
Kennedy talks about how the Biden administration is beholden to the Pharmaceutical industry, the defense industry and Wall Street.
Kennedy talks about how he would close the southern border and how the open border is not benefiting the people trying to cross and live the American dream
Kennedy talks about how the COVID lockdowns crushed middle and lower middle income Americans, and how it hurt black and brown communities and small business in higher proportions.
Kennedy talks about how half of Americans don’t have $1,000 in savings for an emergency, and he talks about how inflation has made the circumstances of the poor much worse.
Kennedy talks about half of Americans haven’t enjoyed the prosperity that both Biden and Trump like to talk about.
Kennedy talks about how he ranks 3rd in the polls, (behind Trump and Biden) and that he gets the 2nd largest crowds (behind Trump), yet is called a long shot or a crackpot.
Kennedy talks about how half of Americans feel like the media is “gaslighting” with good news about the economy and their status.
Kennedy talks about how drug addiction affected him personally, and how he overcame it with the help of his belief in God, and how we wants to help the millions of American families who are currently affected by Fentanyl and drug abuse.
RFK Jr. does not talk about his stances on vaccination unless asked by the interviewer. He has said again and again that he is not leading with the vaccination issue.
Kennedy sounds like the old style democrat that President Biden is supposed to be.
