Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised President Joe Biden for his decision to drop out of the presidential race on Sunday (21) and called on the Democratic Party to nominate Biden’s replacement through an “open process.”
Kennedy, a former Democrat who ran against Biden in the primary before switching to run as an independent, said in a post that he hopes the party “uses neutral polls” to select the strongest candidate to defeat former President Donald Trump, and criticized the party’s handling of the primary process.
“I urge the Democratic Party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process. Rather than anointing a candidate handpicked by DNC elites, the party should use unbiased polling to identify the candidate who can best defeat Donald Trump. Delegates should then select a nominee based on that information,” Kennedy said.
“If they had done that from the beginning, I wouldn’t have had to leave the Democratic Party,” he added.
Kennedy applauded Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, while also claiming that his “progressive deterioration” had undermined his candidacy.
