A complete list of celebrities who support RFK Jr.

As the November election approaches, many prominent figures are voicing their support for either Donald Trump or Joe Biden, while an increasing number are backing independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy, the son of former Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated in the 1960s, has become well-known in recent years for his outspoken anti-vaccine stance.

The 70-year-old lawyer had sought to challenge Joe Biden for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination but withdrew from the race and declared he would run as an independent in October 2023.

Many consider Kennedy a controversial choice given his growing anti-vaccine stance and reported support for conspiracy theories, including unfounded beliefs that COVID-19 targets certain races, that the 2004 presidential election was stolen through voter fraud and that mass shootings are linked to prescription drugs.
