Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his intention to run as a third-party candidate in the 2024 presidential election, a move that has drawn criticism from both the Democratic and Republican parties. Kennedy, who has previously run as a Democrat, has been controversial due to his anti-vaccine stance and promotion of conspiracy theories. His campaign platform appeals to both Republican and Democratic voters, and his support for Bitcoin could draw additional supporters. Kennedy's decision could potentially impact the election by taking votes away from both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
