Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently addressed the media coverage surrounding his admission of placing a dead bear cub in New York City’s Central Park a decade ago. Kennedy acknowledged that the coverage has negatively impacted his presidential campaign, expressing his belief that the focus should be on more substantial issues.
In an interview with Fox News, Kennedy stated that he does not view the bear anecdote, which he shared in a social media video, as beneficial to his campaign. He emphasized his preference for discussing critical campaign topics such as combating government corruption, reducing US military influence, and reforming healthcare in the nation.
Despite recent polls indicating a lack of significant progress in his campaign compared to former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Kennedy remains optimistic. He acknowledged the concerns of voters who may perceive supporting a third-party candidate with uncertain victory prospects as risky. When questioned about how he plans to persuade such voters to support him in the upcoming election, Kennedy admitted uncertainty, expressing hope for finding a solution in the next three months.
