I posted this on a previous thread:
In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy (the father) filed to run and LBJ dropped out, the Democrats lost in the November election to Richard Nixon.
In 1980, Edward M Kennedy (Teddy, the uncle) filed to run against Jimmy Carter, tore the party apart and the Democrats lost in the November election to Ronald Reagan.
In 2024, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. files to run against Joe Biden…will history repeat?

Excellen observations
It looks like there is more than one type of Kennedy curse.

I don't believe the Kennedy name carries the same influence it had 40-60 years ago. You would have to be a Baby Boomer or older to remember the family and its influence. To Generation X and younger, the most they may recall is the scandals around the younger Kennedys. RFK, Jr., is an anti-vaxxer and runs with conspiracists, positions anathema to most leftists. I don't think he will have a chance in the primaries, even against Biden.

In that case, for once I will support a Kennedy running for office.
Until primary season is over. Then it is Trump 2024 all the way! 😉

In 1968 Robert Sr. was murdered. You sort of omitted that. Robert Jr. has a strong attraction for antivaccers. My best President of my lifetime - 82 years - President Trump - does not. I hate the biological weapon vax. We’ll see, won’t we?
