Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce he's dropping his Democratic bid for the presidency to run instead as an independent or third-party candidate.
Longtime environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday he will run for president as an independent and drop his Democratic primary bid, likely pitting him against President Joe Biden, who is running for reelection, and the winner of the Republican nomination. Former President Donald Trump is currently leading national and early-contest polls in the GOP race.

Meanwhile, the centrist group No Labels is actively securing ballot access for a yet-to-be-named candidate.
