The Kennedy family, a storied political dynasty, is poised to throw its weight behind President Joe Biden's reelection even as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a family member, continues his run as a fringe independent candidate in the 2024 presidential race.

During a St. Patrick's Day visit to the White House this week, the Kennedy family made an appearance spanning three generations, in what amounted to a show of support for Biden, who shares their Irish roots.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of Robert F. Kennedy, both famed politicians who died by assassination - was not part of the event, left out in the cold by his left-leaning relatives.

There was concern in Democratic circles that RFK Jr.'s candidacy could disrupt Biden's campaign momentum, but so far the concern appears groundless.

Recent national and battleground state polling indicates that Kennedy is pulling more support from Biden than Trump, showing the former president's leads growing when the independent is on the ticket.

"Kennedy is a kook of the first order, and there's a lot of kooks in the Democratic Party who aren't happy with Biden. So you give them a third, kooky door to go through, and they just might do it," Scott Jennings, a GOP strategist and veteran of numerous campaigns, told the DCNF.
