RFK Jr. Targets Black Voters as Biden's Support Declines
Kennedy leverages family's civil rights legacy and focuses on podcast outreach in bid to win over key demographic.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is focusing his presidential campaign on winning over minority voters, as a growing number of black voters consider an alternative to President Joe Biden.
- Recent polling has shown a major decline in support for Biden among black voters and growing support for Kennedy.
- Kennedy has largely tapped into his own family’s history when speaking to black voters, highlighting the Kennedys' legacy as allies of the black community.
- Kennedy's strategy includes focusing on podcast interviews rather than traditional media outlets, reaching a different, and often younger, audience.
- Kennedy's next campaign stop is in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Jan. 26, 2024.
