“Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Democratic primary challenger to President Biden, is making waves with his impressive fundraising efforts. Since announcing his campaign on April 19, Kennedy has brought in over $6 million, averaging an astonishing $1 million a day in the final three days of the second quarter. This surge in support is a clear indication of the public’s desire for a courageous and authentic truth-teller.
Kennedy’s campaign manager, former Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, believes that the fundraising success is a direct response to the media’s attempts to smear Kennedy’s reputation. The American people are tired of the mainstream media’s biased coverage and are showing their support for Kennedy by opening their wallets. Kucinich noted, “”RFK, Jr. has shown respect for the intelligence of the American people. The more people hear his message, the more he connects.””
Fundraising is a crucial metric for measuring a candidate’s popularity and campaign strength. The money raised enables candidates to travel, run ads, and build effective voter outreach efforts. With a significant war chest at their disposal, Kennedy’s campaign is well-positioned to challenge the Biden establishment.
Despite trailing Biden in the polls, Kennedy’s growing support is evident. Recent polls show Biden at 64% among likely Democratic primary voters, with Kennedy at 17% and spiritual adviser Marianne Williamson at 10%. While Biden may be the front-runner, concerns over his age and physical and mental stamina persist within the Democratic Party.
Unfortunately, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is fully backing Biden and has made it clear that there will be no primary debates between Biden, Kennedy, and Williamson. This decision has drawn criticism from within the party, as it restricts the democratic process and stifles meaningful discussion.
The Republican National Committee took a similar approach during the previous presidential election, refusing to schedule any primary debates when then-President Trump faced long-shot GOP challengers. While there may be political precedent, it raises questions about transparency and the democratic values the parties claim to uphold.
As Kennedy’s campaign gains momentum, it’s crucial to keep an eye on his fundraising figures. While the second quarter of 2023 figures have yet to be released, candidates must file their fundraising reports with the Federal Election Commission by July 15. These numbers will provide further insight into Kennedy’s ability to compete against the Biden machine.
The public’s enthusiastic response to Kennedy’s candidacy and his impressive fundraising success send a clear message: Americans are looking for a change, and they believe Kennedy has what it takes to deliver. As the campaign progresses, it will be interesting to see how the establishment and the media react to this rising political force.”
