Kennedy, a cousin of former President John F. Kennedy This he himself confessed in an interview with the New York Times. The parasite caused problems in 2012. He suffered from memory loss and was not always mentally sharp. Doctors thought it was a brain tumor, but it turned out to be a tapeworm.
According to his campaign team, he probably contracted it during one of his trips to Africa, South America or Asia while he was still an environmental lawyer.
Now fully recovered
Kennedy’s spokesman says he has now fully recovered and that there is nothing wrong with his brain. She laughed when asked whether his health problems could play a role in the presidential elections. “That’s a hilarious suggestion, considering the competition.”
At 70, Kennedy is younger than Democrat Joe Biden (81) and Republican Donald Trump (77). Kennedy presents himself as the relatively young and fit candidate.
Not a serious chance
Kennedy, like every previous independent candidate in the presidential elections, does not have a serious chance of winning the White House, but his candidacy could nevertheless be decisive. If he takes many votes away from Trump or Biden in one or more swing states, it could decide who wins the election.
American media and commentators are now wondering aloud which candidate Kennedy will win more voters away from. He has always been considered a somewhat prominent member of the Democratic party, but some of his views are more in line with some of Trump’s base. Kennedy is an avid conspiracy theorist, is strongly against vaccinations and believes that gender dysphoria is caused by chlorine in drinking water.
