Oh, how the mighty have fallen… if you believe Tony Burge’s Parapolitics UK-based newsletter account that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign is broke. Kennedy, long mentioned as a possible 2024 contender, has been foundering in his campaign and is close to broke. NewsPoint48 digs into recent stirrings for RFK Jr., including cash troubles, and how it might influence his surprising presidential campaign.
A Campaign in Crisis
When RKF Jr.first launched his campaign, he painted himself as more of an outsider than the mainstream candidates by playing heavily on his family name. Nevertheless, early buzz and attention from the media did not translate into the kind of momentum needed to be a real contender in the race. According to recent accounts, the candidate is almost out of money and slashing staff and campaign activity in crucial battleground states.
Economic hardship and bad management
The same sources close to the campaign suggested that financial problems were fueled by mismanagement of resources and the failure to build a robust donor network. Though Kennedy’s anti-establishment message helped him generate support early on, his platform has not gained significant traction. Although RGK’s campaign costs have soared, and without a steady flow of donations, his ability to keep this thing running at a competitive level has entered the shit creek.
Fundraising Challenges
Money has been the main problem for Kennedy’s campaign. And while other presidential candidates have frozen both small-dollar and big-money donors, Kennedy’s campaign has fallen short. Without a big budget or proper endorsements, things did not move as much. While it has enjoyed star turns and momentum-growing moments, the campaign just hasn’t had a big breakout.
What’s Next for RFK Jr.?
RFK Jr. is in a financial crunch; questions follow on his prez campaign Can he recover from this? Or is this the end of — or at least the beginning of the end for—Kennedy’s prospects as a Democratic nominee? Political insiders discuss potential dropouts from the race if the campaign doesn’t get it together soon.
The RFK Jr. campaign is running out of money and, for better or worse, Bob continues to run on an anti-corporate, environmental, and public health platform. If, however; this message is sensational, but does not have the financial resources to keep pace with other candidates it may never travel a wide enough circle to have an important effect.
RFK Jr’s cash-strapped campaign is on life support, casting severe doubt as to whether he’ll be able to stay in the 2024 race. Campaign funds have dried up and donor money is starting to peter out for his presidential nudge. Buffers against bad news are falling away and Icarus falls back to earth.
