CHICAGO (NewsNation) — From the most talked-about issues facing Americans and the Russia-Ukraine war to shaky family ties, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. laid out all of his cards during a NewsNation town hall Wednesday night.

Voters filed into the NewsNation studios to hear directly from Kennedy himself.

The environmental lawyer said he wants his party back.

"I'm running because I feel like my party has lost its way," Kennedy told NewsNation host Elizabeth Vargas during a 90-minute chat.

Kennedy took questions from voters in Chicago, New Hampshire and South Carolina, addressing the issues that have distinguished him from President Joe Biden, including inflation, immigration, gun control, foreign policy and even vaccines.
