MacKinnon thinks RFK Jr. will win the Democratic presidential nomination, a prediction he admits will prompt much laughter and derision.
MacKinnon lists his reasons, which include President Biden’s low approval ratings and the absence of any plausible Democratic alternative.
Biden has declared his candidacy. And by doing so, the incumbent forced other potential Democratic candidates to stand down. MacKinnon believes this will only help Kennedy, who threw his hat into the ring last month.
On the issues, Kennedy is a bit of an unknown quantity beyond his anti-vax and anti-COVID shutdown advocacy. But his independence and simple campaign message – “Tell the truth” – may resonate with voters who’ve had enough of lying and manipulation from both parties.
“Despise him all you want,” MacKinnon concludes, “but Kennedy is already polling at 20 percent against Biden, as his pragmatic voice continues to reach more and more Americans in search of a champion.”
