Breaking News: Kennedy Likely to Run as an Independent (updated)

American Values2024 super PAC applauds the likely move

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will likely announce his run as an independent candidate on October 9 in Philadelphia.

The news first broke in Mediaite.

“Americans are tired of being told what to do, what to think, or who to vote for,” said Tony Lyons, co-chair of American Value 2024, the super PAC supporting Kennedy and the publisher of The Kennedy Beacon.

“They want real choice,” Lyons added. “They want a free and fair primary process, filled with open dialogue and fierce debates.”

Continued Lyons, “American Values 2024 is dedicated to getting Bobby’s message to the American people and the American people are clearly ready to hear it. Americans are more independent minded and more open to a third party than they have been in recent memory.”

Late on September 29, Kennedy released this 2-minute and 20 second video, offering some details about the announcement he plans to make on October 9.

“I’ll be speaking about a sea-change in American politics,” he says in part. “And what your party and my party is in that change. A lot of Americans who had previously given up any hope that real change would ever come through the American electoral process have begun to find new hope in my candidacy.”
