Descrição: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a comedy fundraiser in Los Angeles as part of his campaign for the presidency as an independent candidate. Despite being seen as a destructive force by Democrats and a potential spoiler for Republicans, Kennedy has gained unexpected popularity in polls, particularly among young voters. The fundraiser attracted a diverse crowd, including environmentalists, new age hippies, anti-establishment troublemakers, and free-speech antivax obsessives. Kennedy's base consists of Reagan Republicans and environmentalists, making it difficult to determine what type of spoiler he may be. There are unanswered questions about his campaign, such as how many state ballots his name will appear on. Kennedy's fundraising and polling support come from a mix of tech evangelists, former Democrats, and entertainers. The fundraiser featured comedians who focused on culture wars rather than targeting Trump or the right. Kennedy's appeal lies in his anti-establishment stance and his association with the Kennedy name. Despite criticisms, his supporters see him as their last hope for change.
