Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told KOAT he has qualified for the first 2024 presidential election in Atlanta on Thursday, June 27, and expressed why he believes he will have a successful campaign. 

Faith Egbuonu: As an independent presidential candidate, what is your take on the impact you could have on this election?

RFK Jr.: My intended impact is to win the campaign and be president of the United States. And I will have a big impact because I'll be addressing issues that neither President Biden or President Trump can address, including the national debt, $34 trillion. We're now spending more on our military budget – we're now spending more on servicing the debt, our military budget, within five years, 50 cents of every dollar that we collect will be in taxes, will go to servicing that debt within 10 years, 100%.

It's existential. President Trump and President Biden can't address it because they actually ran up the bulk of that debt in each of their administrations – $8 trillion a piece. And you know that all the other issues, the division in our country, the polarization, the chronic disease epidemic, the addiction to war, the corrupt merger of state and corporate power, which they presided over, and those are issues that I can fix, and I can. So, my impact will be enormous.
