When Robert F Kennedy Jr. formally divorced the party his family once ruled as kingmakers, he opened the door for more Democrats to follow suit in embracing Donald Trump in 2024 and creating a “unity party” where Americans can disagree and debate without destroying each other.
“I attended my first Democratic Convention at the age of six in 1960,” Kennedy fondly recalled Friday of the era when his uncle John and father Robert Sr. ruled the Democratic establishment.
“Back then, the Democrats were the champions of the constitution, and of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism and unjust wars.”
