Haley's exit it is now all but certain that the November election will be a 2020 rematch presidents Biden and Trump facing off again polls however suggest many Americans want another option Robert F Kennedy Jr hopes to be that choice the Kennedy campaign now seeking November ballot access across the country here in California that effort involves Gathering signatures for a new political party called We the People Independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr joins us live right now from
his La home with more great to see you thanks so much for joining us Alex good to see you Mara um so talk to us about how this would work what are the logistics involved in making this happen and what will this new party be all about they we we will be on the on the ballot in all 50 states but our strategy for getting on the ballot differs state by state and in Six States we are starting our own political party because that's the easiest way to get on the ballot California is one of those the p
arty is called we the people we need 75,000 Californians to change their registration between now and June to our new party uh they can do that by going to our website Kennedy 24.com California and it will tell you you should have your driver's license there because you need the same address that is on your driver license but it's uh it it's a couple of steps but anybody can do it we uh and we're really starting that bellet drive today well congratulations on launching that effort uh sir now you
yourself have said that Democrats are afraid that you're going to spoil the election for President Biden and Republicans saying the very same thing that you will spoil it for president Trump what do you say to that you know I what we saw during primaries yesterday was one of the lowest turnouts in history and what we see about my campaign is that people are coming out who haven't voted for years Politico actually did a u uh an analysis of our fundraising that showed that most of the people who
given to my campaign are people have never participated in the in the political system so you know and when we do our rallies when we do these events around the country so many people are coming out to us and say we've lost faith in the political process we do not 70% of Americans now say they do not want this rematch of 2020 they do not want to see a rematch between President Trump and President Biden and they want an alternative people are tired of being told that they have to choose between t
he lesser of two evils they want to choose have a choice that inspires them a choice that of of somebody that they like that they want to vote for and who's actually talking about the issues that affect our country now particularly the chronic disease epidemic that is debilitating our country 60% of our kids now have chronic disease our our entire generation of kids nobody's talking about this stuff uh can't get into a home they're not you know our children are not going to be able to pursue tha
t Central promise of the American dream which when I was growing up if it was understood if you worked hard if you played by the rules you could own a home you could Finance it you could pay for your summer vacation you could raise a family and you could put something aside for retirement there's nobody in the 20 to 30 generation that believes that that promise applies to them and you know I want to change that and none of the other political leaders they're part of the generation that created t
his problem that loaded these kids with $34 trillion do in debt loaded them with with the processed foods with um the contaminants that are causing this terrible chronic disease epidemic and and have embroiled them in the forever Wars and they need you know they want a president who will unravel a coruption the this merger corrupt merger of state and corporate power and return Public Health in this country and end the wars and the the numbers of young people that turned out for the election in C
alifornia yesterday was astoundingly low um and many of them are looking for an alternative let's look at your poll numbers right now in a matchup between Donald Trump Joe Biden and you you're pulling at 15% and a lot of the mainstream media frankly has ignored you and and not given you interviews like we're doing right now um and you're doing that a lot of that through just Grassroots online work um which is pretty astounding uh it shows that there is an appetite for you but there are also folk
s that will see that and say you know could you live with yourself if this election if Donald Trump ends up winning because of your impact on it um and that means that Donald Trump becomes the president the polls actually the polls consistently show me winning beating president Trump and President Biden among young people they show and the poll you just showed us those polls are assuming that young people don't vote yeah but what we're seeing is that there's tremendous amounts of young people wh
o want to come out and vote if I'm the candidate um the the polls consistently show me beating both president Trump and President Biden among Independents and independents this year are are for the first time in history the first presidential election in history are the largest cohort so there are 52% of Americans are now call themselves self-identified as Independents vers about you know 24 25% Republicans Democrats so you know I feel like I have a I have an ability the one in group that I'm in
a three-way tie among Hispanic voters um my what the polls show is that I draw pretty much evenly from both president Trump and President Biden I'm at this point drawing a little more from president Trump so uh President Biden does not need my help to lose the election to president Trump in fact you know it's more likely my participation may help him but I think I'm going to bring out a lot of new people to vote and that you know that President Trump is gonna get his voters uh President Biden i
s gonna get his but I think I'm gonna be able to beat them well first and foremost is uh to get your name on the ballot in California to do that you need 75,000 Californians to sign up on your website so uh we have we're out of time unfortunately but we appreciate you taking the time to be with us live tonight on the Fox 11 News at 6 Independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr thank you so much thank you Mara thank you Alex
