As he runs for reelection, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims that President Joe Biden’s “true challenge” is the rising cost of necessities like food and gas.
“I feel like I am President Biden’s biggest obstacle, according to the DNC. But the $4 milk, $4 gas, $6 loaf of bread, and the reality that this generation of American children will never own their own house are his true problems—not mine. Kennedy tweeted, “We are the only campaign discussing ways to lower living costs, restore our industrial base, and provide housing for this generation so that we can maintain America as an ownership society rather than a feudal corporate kleptocracy.”
Kennedy first sought the Democratic presidential candidacy last year, but he later changed to an independent campaign.
If re-elected, Biden—who is already the oldest president in American history—would turn 86 at the end of his second term in office.
It’s less about Biden’s age and more about his public gaffes and his unwillingness to publicly debate and have unscripted conversations with voters. Even his scripted interviews are scary for people to watch.

“Biden’s age is not as important as his public missteps and reluctance to engage in free-form discussion and debate with voters. Kennedy tweeted, “Even his rehearsed interviews are unsettling for people to watch. Are you genuinely satisfied with President Biden’s capacity to take calls at three in the morning and decide on something like national security?”
