His name is golden, he has a certain amount of charisma, and his policy stances create headlines, but can Robert F. Kennedy Jr. win the Democratic nomination? Can he beat Joe Biden?

He is doing surprisingly well in polls – achieving around 16 to 20 percent in support, but that could be due to his universal name recognition. Kennedy is also known as an “anti-vaxxer” which could scare some Democrats away. He must show that there is more steak than sizzle to carry his campaign over the top. People may be tired of Joe Biden and believe the president is too old, but are they willing to support Kennedy instead?

Kennedy is the son of beloved Democrat RFK and the nephew of the heroic JFK. He carries a large amount of animus toward the CIA, which he blames for his uncle’s death. This has some political observers wondering if he is a conspiracy theorist.
