A Kennedy who may disturb US presidential elections

I like the way you speak”, you said Gilbert Lemon, a 48-year-old pharmacist from Phoenix City. He tells us most of what we need to know. And other politicians just give us pieces of information to adapt to their agenda. We're fed up with this” thing, he says.

Voters are not enthusiastic about a new Biden-Trump contest and therefore are considering the opportunity to support alternatives such as Mr. Kennedy or other third parties. Mr. Kennedy's appearance in a 2024 battlefield state shows how difficult it is to predict the influence of third parties in the election.

Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden's allies have voiced concerns that the rise as independent of Mr. Kennedy could harm their candidates, in next year's general elections, by receiving them votes.

Candidates competing outside two major Democratic and Republican parties rarely draw attention, always if they manage to get on the ballot sheet. But candidates from third parties usually do not bear a famous surname like Kennedy, or an existing network of supporters.

Mr. Kennedy made the stop in Phoenix as part of his hard-to-be expertise to become part of the 2024 presidential race as an independent candidate, which he thinks will bring at least a million signatures across the country. His assistants mixed among the crowd by filling out signature petitions aimed at qualifying in Arizona.

The introduction to the ballot for independent candidates and smaller parties is a costly and complicated process, and each state has its own rules. Election campaign officials usually employ people to collect signatures, and they often need a small order of attorneys to challenge rules that are possible in the race and to deal with those who try to keep these candidates out of the race.

Mr. Kennedy is a member of one of the most famous families of the Democrat Party. His father was the attorney general while his uncle, John F. Kennedy was president. But recently he has formed closer ties with the extreme right, which shares the same views as he himself, conspiring and insulting.

Enriqueta Porras, a 52-year-old doctor from Phoenix, voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Mr. Trump in 2020. She says she would like to vote for someone she believes in, like Mr. Kennedy, but she also wants to make sure that Mr. Biden loses and that's why she's thinking about how to vote strategically.

One of the country's most prominent anti vaccine activists, Mr. Kennedy has long had loyal followers -- those who reject scientific consensus -- that vaccines are safe and effective. The issue constitutes the pillar of his presidential campaign.

An organisation founded by Mr. Kennedy, Mrs. Childs Health Defence, has indicted a number of media organisations, among them the Associated Pressı, accusing them of violation of laws, taking action to identify dezinforms, including those related to COVID-19 and the vaccine against coronary.

rigorous studies and evidence carried out through hundreds of millions of vaccines COVID-19 injected, prove they are safe and effective. Deaths caused by vaculation are extremely rare, and the risks associated with invasion are far higher than the risk of inoculation.

Among Mr. Kennedy's dozens of supporters who talked about the AP in Phoenix, many share his view that corporations, especially pharmaceutical companies, have a lot of power.
