RFK Jr. is polling incredibly well for a Democrat challenging a sitting Democratic president; Kennedy is currently enjoying upwards of 20% support in the polls.
Kennedy stopped by The Joe Rogan Experience to talk to the popular podcast host about his famous father, uncle, and the dangers of the military-industrial complex.
From The Daily Caller:
Rogan asked RFK Jr. — who has said he suspects the intelligence agency killed his uncle John F. Kennedy — what he thinks will happen to him if he gets into office.
“I gotta be careful,” Kennedy responded. “I’m aware of that, you know, I’m aware of that danger. I don’t live in fear of it — at all. But I’m not stupid about it, and I take precautions.”
The presidential candidate also claimed that former President John F. Kennedy was “at war” with his military and intelligence agencies during his presidency and that they were “trying to trick him” into sending troops to various countries like Cuba and Vietnam.
The former president got so frustrated that he said he wanted to “shatter” the CIA and “scatter it to the winds,” Kennedy continued.

A recent Economist/YouGov poll found RFK Jr. has higher favorability ratings than every other 2024 candidate; 49% of respondents s view him favorably.
