Kerry Kennedy on the family political split: ‘There’s so much at stake’

Kerry Kennedy discusses the collective decision to back Joe Biden over brother Robert F Kennedy Jr and how his impact on the election will be ‘dangerous’

Every Christmas Kerry Kennedy makes a book for her numerous relatives. “It has at least one photograph of every single member of my extremely enormous family,” she says. “And yes, Bobby is in the book.”

“Bobby” refers to her brother, Robert Kennedy Jr, a hopeful sign that the sibling bond will survive an oncoming storm. Robert is running as an independent candidate for US president in November’s election. Kerry is one of at least 15 members of the Kennedy clan who recently endorsed Joe Biden instead.
