Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the anti-vaccine activist and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, has launched his campaign for the Democratic Party nomination for 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Announcing his presidential bid in Boston on Wednesday, Kennedy said his mission over the next 18 months of his campaign and throughout his presidency "will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country; to commoditize our children, our purple mountain's majesty; to poison our children and our people with chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs; to strip-mine our assets; to hollow out the middle class and keep us in a constant state of war."
