Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. commended President Joe Biden for his decision to withdraw from the presidential race on Sunday. Kennedy, who had previously competed against Biden in the primaries before running as an independent, urged the Democratic Party to select Biden's replacement through an open and democratic process.
In a statement released on Sunday, Kennedy expressed his desire for the party to utilize neutral polling methods to determine the most viable candidate to challenge former President Donald Trump. He criticized the party's current approach to the primary process, advocating for a more transparent and inclusive method of candidate selection.
