The stance puts Kennedy — who’s mounting long shot bid to unseat President Joe Biden as the Democratic standard bearer in 2024 — out of step with most of his party.

    Every thing about this headline is wrong.

    1. He’s not mounting a bid to become President, he’s mounting a bid to peel off votes from Biden in order to help the GQP

    2. He’s not a Democrat, he just says he is.

    Dunno why news organizations are so scared to call out obvious bullshit nowadays.

      But he won’t win the primary. I don’t understand that. Democrats have superdelegates. He’s got to win the first round or well more than normal in a contested convention.

        The point is people will vote for him in the primary, get butthurt when he loses, and then not vote for Biden in the general. Or worse, vote for the Republican candidate.

        It’s not a pure mathematical game, it’s about getting people to pick a team.
