Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he is looking into running for president as a Libertarian, since he still faces significant hurdles in gaining ballot access in the vast majority of states as an independent candidate.
“That’s something that we’re looking at,” he told CNN’s Michael Smerconish Monday, in response to a question about whether he’d consider a Libertarian bid.
“We have a really good relationship with Libertarian Party,” Kennedy added.
Kennedy, who began his pursuit of the presidency as a Democrat early last year and then left the party to run as an independent, noted that at the end of February he’ll be addressing California’s Libertarian Party convention.
“We are talking to Libertarian Party. I feel very comfortable with most of the values of the Libertarian Party…and like I say, we have good relationships. I’m talking regularly to Libertarian groups. So, we’ll continue to do those talks,” Kennedy said.
