On April 5, 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filed his candidacy for the White House. As a member of the Kennedy family, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a prominent environmental attorney and activist. Kennedy has focused his efforts on advocacy and activism related to environmental issues, including fighting for clean water, protecting endangered species, and opposing the use of fossil fuels.

To challenge the incumbent President, Kennedy’s candidacy shares some similarities with his father, Robert F. Kennedy, the younger brother of President John F. Kennedy, who entered the race as for the Democratic Party seeking to challenge the incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson in the primaries.
