Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is talking about his new Secret Service detail — and, interestingly, the presidential candidate says he’d rather go it alone.
The son of Robert F. Kennedy was on “TMZ Live” on Monday when he openly admitted that he’s not a fan of having Secret Service agents on the campaign trail — since he likes interacting with the public.
However, Kennedy—whose father and uncle, John F. Kennedyboth assassinated in the 1960s — admitted that Secret Service protection is a necessity for the safety of his family, his staff and bystanders.
He added… “It would be absolutely irresponsible of me not to have Secret Service protection, given the heightened risk. But, you know, for me, I love my life. I love the freedom I’ve always had and I enjoy interacting with people.”

RFK Jr. also said he is deeply grateful to President Biden for “finally” giving him Secret Service agents – a move that occurred shortly after the attempted murder about the former president Donald Trump on July 13th.
Kennedy also took a moment to address Biden’s announcement on Sunday, where he withdrew his candidacy for re-election and endorsed the vice president Kamala Harris as his replacement as the 2024 Democratic candidate.

As for whether Harris’ entry into the race changes things for Kennedy? Watch the video… he seemed unconcerned, citing her closeness to Biden as a real weakness.
Kennedy’s conclusion is clear: in his eyes, the rebranding only makes his campaign more viable to the American public.
