“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears headed for a breakup with the party his family defined for generations, teasing that he’s preparing to ditch the Democrats in a ‘historic’ announcement Monday in which he is expected to launch an independent presidential campaign against President Joe Biden,” NBC News reports.
“The split is mutual, though hardly amicable.”
