More than 15 members of the Kennedy family, who had previously criticized Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent bid for the White House, endorsed President Biden at a campaign event in Philadelphia.

Speaking at the event, Kerry Kennedy, the sister of RFK Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy's seventh child, praised President Biden, stating that reelecting him is the best way forward for the country.

"President has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncle stood for. That's why nearly every single grandchild of Joe and Rose Kennedy supports Joe Biden," Ms. Kennedy said.

"In 2024, there are only two candidates with any chance of winning the presidency," she added.

Speaking at the event, President Biden thanked the family members for the endorsement.

Six of RFK Jr.'s siblings stood alongside President Biden on stage at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center in Philadelphia.

"I don't want to become emotional. What an incredible honor to have the support of the Kennedy family," President Biden said. "Most meaningful introduction I've ever gotten in my life."

RFK, Jr. entered the presidential race in April last year, challenging President Biden for the Democratic Party nomination.

After encountering multiple hurdles by the DNC and accusing the organization of "rigging the primary" and not allowing any candidate to compete against President Biden, Mr. Kennedy announced he would run as an independent in October 2023.
