Republicans paint independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr as a radical liberal, and Democrats say he is being financed and manipulated by right-wing donors to hurt U.S. President Joe Biden’s reelection bid. But interviews with Kennedy supporters show they are not interested in labels, especially those prescribed by the major political parties they have left behind.
Arnetha Saulsbury, a 49-year-old claims specialist in Las Vegas, Nevada voted for Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. She says her main news sources are CNN, Fox, various podcasters and social media platform X. “When I saw Ron DeSantis and RFK Jr, I said, ’In a perfect world, these two will be a team together.' I still would have voted for RFK Jr even if he had a “D” to his name, because I don’t care about the titles.”Juan Schaar, a 37-year-old software developer near Raleigh, North Carolina who voted for Biden in the 2020 election. He did not vote in the 2016 election as he was not yet eligible. He says he tries to get his news “from the horse’s mouth” as much as possible.
“The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was when the Democrats essentially anointed Biden and decided to not really hold real primaries, hold debates.”Mark Whittingslow, a 55-year-old project engineer in the Houston, Texas area who voted for Trump in the past two elections. He says he gets his news from local news channels, search engines like MSN and Google and social media platforms.
Matthew McCloskey, a 26-year-old wellness advisor in Holland, Michigan voted for Green Party candidate Jill Stein in the 2016 election and wrote in former Democratic primary candidate Andrew Yang in the 2020 election. He says he gets his news from social media platform X, The Hill, CNN, journalist Lee Camp and podcasts.
How and when he learned about RFK Jr: “It was on Facebook. It was shared into an Andrew Yang group that RFK Jr was planning on announcing his run for presidency. And so I set a reminder to livestream it and I did and at first I didn’t really understand how important he was or how big his legacy was at the time. But as I listened to him speak, I could tell this guy really understands what we’re facing as a country. He knows how to bring people together.
