In a video clip that has accumulated more than 475,000 views on X, Kennedy admitted that he is polling poorly among those born between 1946 and 1964 and attributed their lack of support to how the boomer generation consumes media.

"They have a disability, which is they only get their news from ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and The New York Times," Kennedy said in the speech. "And if I were living in that information ecosystem, I would have a low opinion of myself as well."

In contrast, Kennedy noted that younger Americans get information from long-form interviews, podcasts and other alternative news sources.
