Yes, you heard that right, folks! Kennedy, who couldn’t quite hack it as a Democrat, may be eyeing a potential switcharoo to the Libertarians. Talk about a wild political ride!

It seems old Rob is having a bit of trouble getting his name on those all-important state ballots. With the pesky and oh-so-expensive challenge of gathering enough voter signatures as an independent candidate, he’s been shaking things up and exploring different options. In January, he even declared the birth of his very own political party — a real party animal, this guy. He called it the “We The People” party and aimed to sneak his name onto the ballot in six states with less signature hurdles. The American Values 2024 super PAC came to his rescue, claiming they’ve drummed up enough signatures to secure spots for him in Arizona and Georgia. Phew, what a relief!
But wait, there’s more! The Libertarian Party is now throwing its hat into the ring, and Kennedy and the Libertarians are apparently chatting it up like old pals. Word on the street is that Kennedy has been hobnobbing with the Libertarians, making appearances at their shindigs and even speaking at their California convention. The intrigue is real, folks! It’s like a political soap opera, and we’ve got a front-row seat.
Even Gary Johnson’s former campaign manager, Ron Nielson, is getting in on the action, singing Kennedy’s praises and hinting at a potential political power move. According to Nielson, Kennedy could turn some heads and shake things up in the Liberty movement. Can you imagine the fireworks if Kennedy took the plunge and ran under the Libertarian banner? It would be a political earthquake, folks!
But hold on to your hats, because there’s a twist in this tale. Angela McArdle, the chairwoman of the Libertarian Party, is throwing a bit of shade at Kennedy, questioning whether he’s a true blue (or should we say, true gold?) Libertarian. She’s spilling the tea about how they don’t see eye to eye on every single issue. Sounds like there might be a bit of drama in the Libertarian camp, don’t you think?
So, what’s Kennedy’s take on all this hubbub? Well, he’s strutting around with confidence, declaring that he’s not sweating the whole ballot access brouhaha. He’s boldly telling everyone within earshot that he’s got it all under control and will have his name on every state’s ballot, no sweat. Talk about nerve!
So, buckle up, folks, because it looks like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is cooking up some spicy political antics. Will he stick to his independent guns, cozy up to the Libertarians, or surprise us all with another unexpected move? Only time will tell, and we’re on the edge of our seats, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this wild political saga! Keep those popcorn buckets ready, because this show is far from over!
