Members of the Kennedy family, a prominent political dynasty, gathered at the White House for President Joe Biden’s St. Patrick’s Day brunch, reaffirming their support for the Democratic administration and its policies.
However, notable absentee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an independent, was conspicuously missing from the gathering.
Kerry Kennedy, a staunch Democrat and member of the family shared a photo of the clan with President Biden on social media, expressing gratitude and admiration for his leadership. Her post underscored the family’s unwavering allegiance to the Democratic Party and its presidential candidate.

Notably, Kerry Kennedy’s omission of her brother Robert and his unconventional presidential bid speaks volumes. In October, she issued a statement on behalf of her siblings denouncing Robert’s candidacy and endorsing Biden.
The statement emphasized their disagreement with Robert’s values, vision, and judgment, labeling his candidacy as perilous for the country.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s unorthodox views on public health, including his controversial stance on vaccines, have drawn criticism and alienated even members of his own family.

His alliance with figures like NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, known for espousing conspiracy theories, further underscores the divergence between Robert and the mainstream Democratic ideology embraced by the Kennedy family.
Despite the absence of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House proceeded joyfully, with President Biden warmly welcoming the Kennedy family.
Biden’s acknowledgment of their presence highlighted the longstanding connection between the Kennedys and the Democratic Party, reaffirming their enduring bond on this festive occasion.
