Republicans depict independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as an extreme liberal, while Democrats allege he is backed and influenced by right-wing donors aiming to undermine President Joe Biden's reelection campaign. However, interviews with Kennedy's supporters reveal that they are not swayed by these labels, particularly those imposed by the major political parties they have distanced themselves from. Kennedy is attracting followers from both sides of the political spectrum. Some previously supported Republican candidate Donald Trump but now stand behind Kennedy. Others are disenchanted progressives prepared to move away from Biden, the incumbent. Most view Kennedy, a member of the renowned Democratic family, as he presents himself - a rare truth-seeker committed to combating corruption and influential lobbying groups in Washington.
In a recent survey by Reuters, Kennedy, an environmental lawyer who has been criticized for spreading misinformation about vaccines, garnered support from 13% of respondents in a hypothetical three-way race between him, Biden, and Trump. Kennedy insists he is not against vaccines but advocates for more rigorous testing protocols.
It remains uncertain whether Kennedy would draw more votes from Biden or Trump. His supporters encompass a broad spectrum of political beliefs and voting histories. Below are excerpts from Reuters interviews with seven Kennedy supporters from different parts of the U.S., including battleground states like Michigan, Nevada, and North Carolina.
Kennedy's reported brain condition did not shake their support.

She appreciates his position on vaccine choice and sees him as a better alternative to Trump without the chaos.
**Juan Schaar, a 37-year-old software developer near Raleigh, North Carolina, who voted for Biden, now supports RFK Jr**. He admires Kennedy's critique of the corrupt system, where regulatory agencies are influenced by the industries they are supposed to regulate.
