Fifteen members of the storied Kennedy political family endorsed US President Joe Biden at a Philadelphia campaign event on Thursday, with some joining him onstage, in a rebuke of Robert F. Kennedy Jr's independent bid for office. Biden, a Democrat, faces Republican Donald Trump in a November re-match of the 2020 election. But members of both parties have bristled over the possibility that the candidacy of Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaccine activist, or another third-party bid could spoil either of their chances. Kennedy, son of the slain US senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, made his name as an environmental lawyer, before becoming known as an anti-vaccine advocate with an eclectic mix of political views. He is backed by 15 percent of registered voters, versus 39 percent for Biden and 38 percent for Trump, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. Many in Robert F. Kennedy Jr's elite family - prominent Democrats since the 19th century - have broken with him over his views. She added t

My name is Kerry Kennedy and I am the seventh child of Robert and Ethel Kennedy.

I'm joined here today with my sisters, Kathleen and Rory, with Joe and Chris and Max.

And with my hero, President Joe Biden.

Daddy left the room and he got in his car.

We want to make crystal clear our feeling that the best way forward for America

is to re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to four more years.

To re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

President Biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncle stood for.

That's why nearly...

nearly every single grandchild of Joe and Rose Kennedy supports Joe Biden.

That's right.

That's right.

The Kennedy family endorses Joe Biden for president.

Wages are up.

I can only imagine how Donald Trump's...

Wages, lies, and behavior would have horrified my father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy,

who proudly served as the Attorney General of the United States

and honored his pledge to uphold the law and protect the country.

Daddy stood for equal justice, for human rights, and freedom from want and fear,

just as President Biden does today.

He died.

Daddy addressed a crowd.

Organized by John...

Donald Trump is running to take us backwards,

attacking the most basic rights and freedoms that are at the core of who we are as Americans.

Safety legislation in 30 years.

Thank you, Joe Biden.

He is the most anti-democratic president in American history.

...and Medicare, ripping away health care...

Just as he mocks our system of laws,

he...

...predicted a bloodbath if he loses the election.

We cannot afford to ignore his warning.

A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for our democracy and our decency.

...our right to the moral leadership of this planet.

He is the first sitting president in our history...

...in our history.

...who has traveled to an active war zone,

not under U.S. control,

not once, but twice,

to show support for our allies.

He was always running into the flames,

so we don't have to.

...values,

our core values of freedom, diversity...

He stepped into the flames of chaos

and turned it into community.

Thank you, Joe Biden.

Thank you, Joe Biden.

Thank you, Joe Biden.

The United States is not hatred.

What we need in the United States is not violence.

That is why we are so happy today

to pledge our unwavering support

to President Joe Biden and President Kamala Harris.

God bless all of you.

God bless America.

And please welcome President Joe Biden.

Thank you.

...freedoms are once again in peril.

This is why we...

What an incredible honor.

What an incredible honor.

I don't want to become emotional,

but what an incredible honor

to have the support of the Kennedy family.

Please, have a seat.

And of course, your dad,

who I never got to meet.

I just missed him.

He was a senator from New York.

He came up to Syracuse University and spoke,

and I waited.

I waited in line,

but I didn't get a chance to physically meet him.

I never got, but he inspired me.

And his passion and courage inspired my generation.

Like millions of Americans,

I remember that night on April 4th, 1968,

I was finishing law school at Syracuse University

when we heard Dr. King had been assassinated.

The pain and the outrage

sparked riots and despair all across the country,

including in my home state of Delaware.

And then we heard a familiar voice

I'd listened to many times.

Your dad, Bobby Kennedy,

standing in the back of a truck in Indianapolis,

asking for peace

and quoting one of his favorite Greek poets.

He said, and I quote,

Even in our sleep,

our pain, which cannot forget,

falls drop by drop upon the heart

until our own despair,

in our own despair,

against our will,

comes wisdom.

Through that awful grace of God.

I kind of work out from despair

where we go.

It's even harder to believe.

Donald Trump's vision

is one of anger, hate, revenge, and retribution.

He embraces the insurrectionists of January the 6th.

He's running on it.

And as mentioned already,

he promised to be a dictator on day one.

His own words.

And he called for...

You know he means it.

And he called for...

He calls for another bloodbath

when he loses again.

Look.

I know Bobby Kennedy liked Greek poets and they were great.

In 2024,

we have a chance to make Hope in History Rhyme again.

Are you ready to do that with me?

Are you ready to move forward, not back?

But after only a matter of months I left that law firm

and took a job as a public defender.

T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H! T-O-R-G-H!
