2024 Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is proposing a de facto “open convention” nominating process to occur at the Chicago Democratic Convention in August. He has proposed that there be a neutral polling process that would allow delegates to vote their conscience as to who they think can actually beat Donald Trump in November—which, according to certain polling data, Kennedy has the best chance of anyone presently campaigning. Today, he issued the following statement:
“I commend President Biden for stepping down. His infirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning. It was this progressive deterioration—and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles—that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump.”
Kennedy then attacks the imperial and highly undemocratic “Democratic National Committee” which arranged that there would be no primary challenge to Joe Biden:
“Yet the response of the DNC was to try and hide President Biden’s degeneration from the American public and disable democracy to ram him through to his party’s nomination.
