Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making strides in his campaign to get on the ballot in more states. With a focus on addressing the crisis at the border, Kennedy has been actively working to expand his presence on state ballots. Currently on three state ballots, Kennedy plans to utilize his newly formed We the People party and explore options within the libertarian arena to secure spots on additional ballots.
Expressing confidence in his campaign's progress, Kennedy stated that they are ahead of schedule and aim to be on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. With a growing volunteer base of 80,000 individuals, Kennedy emphasized the ease of persuading people to support his candidacy.
In response to concerns about being a spoiler candidate, Kennedy clarified that his goal is to win the election by garnering votes from both President Trump and President Biden. He underscored the importance of addressing critical issues such as the crisis at the border, economic challenges, and national security.
Critiquing President Biden's handling of foreign policy matters, Kennedy called for a more articulate and proactive approach from the current administration. He emphasized the need for a president who can effectively communicate complex solutions to the American people, especially during times of crisis.
Regarding the conflict in Gaza, Kennedy supported Israel's right to self-defense while acknowledging the complexities of the situation. He highlighted the need to prevent civilian casualties and stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of the conflict.
On the issue of border security, Kennedy advocated for a comprehensive approach that includes reinstating the Migrant Protection Act, ending catch-and-release policies, and implementing a physical barrier in strategic locations. He emphasized the need for monitoring systems and infrastructure to effectively manage border crossings.
As Kennedy continues to expand his campaign and address key policy issues, his platform reflects a focus on national security, economic stability, and effective governance.
