Anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce Monday that he will drop his Democratic bid for president and run as an independent or third-party candidate, adding a new wrinkle to a 2024 race currently heading toward a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy’s campaign has teased the announcement in the days leading up to a Monday afternoon speech in Philadelphia. In a recent video, Kennedy said there is corruption “in the leadership of both political parties” and said he wants to “rewrite the assumptions and change the habits of American politics.”

The video came shortly after Mediaite reported he planned to launch an independent bid.

    I have deep, intense skepticism of anything Andrew Yang touches or endorses

    Okay, I have deep, intense skepticism of any current politician.

    It’s literally bankers and Republicans

    No, its not literally bankers and Republicans. All you have to do is look at the Notable member chart to see that. It does have some republicans who have joined which isn’t exactly a surprise since they are 33% of the country. As far as bankers, there was no mention of the word banker in the article so not sure where you’re getting that.

    Why are you cursing about an wikipedia article? Is it because you are angry at it?
