Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

I want to thank all of those dedicated volunteers and congratulate the campaign staff who coordinated this enormous logistical feat.

My uncle and my father both relished the debate.

It continues to survive in the breath and in the idealistic human energies that still thrive beneath the canvas of neglect and of official and institutional corruption.

I'm sorry to keep everybody waiting. 16 months ago in April of 2023 I launched my campaign for president of the United States.

Drew to its name. It was the Party of Democracy.

The naysayers told us that we were climbing a glass version of Mount Impossible.

We can choose to continue down the path of escalating conflict, or we can embrace a new approach that seeks to resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual understanding.

Don't you want healthy children? And don't you want the chemicals out of our food? And don't you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption? And that's what President Trump told me that he wanted. He also told me…

There's many things that President Trump has done that are appalling. President Trump presided over the greatest restriction on individual liberties this country has ever known. Him overthrowing, trying to overthrow the election clearly is…

He said he didn't want any more $200 billion wars in Ukraine that we could use that money back here in the United States.

And he is going to protect us against totalitarianism.

And don't you want a president who's going to get us out of wars and who's going to rebuild the middle class in this country.

They want to create a debate about whether enslaved people benefited from slavery. I’m not, no! No!

Our policy is we want a safe and orderly and a humane system. And we’re going to keep fighting for that.
