Last Monday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he is no longer running for president as a Democrat, but instead is running as an independent.
It appears that this move is paying off as far as campaign contributions are concerned as a super PAC (political action committee) backing his candidacy has raised $11 million since the announcement.
The Daily Caller reported:
The super political action committee (PAC) supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential bid announced Tuesday that it raised over $11 million since the candidate changed his party affiliation from Democrat to independent on Monday, according to a press release.
Kennedy announced at a Pennsylvania rally that he will now run for president as an independent, following frustration with the Democratic National Committee. American Values 2024 said it received the donations within just six hours of Kennedy’s announcement from Democrats, Republicans and independents nationwide, according to the press release.
“Americans don’t like censorship or propaganda and they are tired of being lied to,” Tony Lyons, co-founder of the super PAC, said in a statement. “It’s clear that Bobby is inspiring a populist movement that unites left and right, black, and white, rural and urban, young and old.”
