RFK Campaign Sets Up ‘We the People’ Political Party in Multiple States

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign announced on Tuesday that the 'We the People' political party was created in five states, while the Texas Independent Party was created in the Lone Star state.

Paperwork was filed by Kennedy Jr. supporters to establish We the People in California Delaware, Hawaii, Mississippi, and North Carolina.

The announcement comes as Kennedy Jr. has been primarily focused on making state ballots as an independent candidate. He already made the Utah ballot.

The formation of the new parties, the campaign announced, lowers the signature threshold Kennedy Jr. needs to make state ballots, a typically costly and complicated effort for independent campaigns.

"I’m inspired by how enthusiastic people are to collect signatures, cast ballots, create new political parties, and attend rallies. That kind of energy is what will get us onto the ballot in every state and fuel our voter registration and GOTV operation as we head toward election day," Kennedy Jr. said in a statement.

He was previously running a longshot primary challenge to President Joe Biden, but abandoned that in favor of an independent run.
