Despite his poll position, Kennedy charges that "the mainstream media has dismissed my candidacy as an irrelevancy."
During an interview with Fox News Digital on Tuesday, Kennedy alleged unfair treatment by the media. He pointed out that CNN has invited many Republican candidates with much less polling support than him to do town halls and express themselves on their essential TV shows but has not treated him that way. Kennedy's polling versus Biden exceeds all but one of the Republican presidential candidates challenging former President Donald Trump for the GOP's 2024 nomination.
Kennedy, a scion of arguably the nation's most famous family political dynasty, was making his second campaign swing through New Hampshire since launching his presidential campaign in April. He was interviewed as he stood aside a bust of his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy, outside of Nashua's city hall. He's one of two nationally known Democrats, along with best-selling author and spiritual adviser Marianne Williamson, challenging Biden for the 2024 nomination.

Kennedy sparked speculation about a potential White House run early this year by visiting New Hampshire, which has held the first primary in the presidential nomination race for a century. He was joined on his trip to the state by his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, best known for portraying the wife of Larry David on the popular HBO comedy series "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

On that trip, Kennedy criticized Biden and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for their decision to move the New Hampshire presidential primary out of its lead-off position. New Hampshire will now vote second in the DNC's calendar, along with Nevada, three days after South Carolina, under the DNC's new schedule.

The DNC changed the nominating calendar to reflect more diversity in the Democratic Party, but Kennedy said New Hampshire already showcases the variety in America. As a general election battleground state, he said, New Hampshire's "four electoral votes could decide the 2024 election."

However, with New Hampshire unlikely to agree to the DNC's primary date due to a state law that mandates the state holds the first presidential primary, the President may stay off the ballot in the Granite State to avoid an unsanctioned primary.

Kennedy once again urged Biden to participate in the New Hampshire primary. He stressed, "We ought to have a real contest. We ought to have retail politics and town halls and debates and open primaries so the Democrats can choose the candidate who's going to be most effective in running against our Republican adversary. For a small group of people in the DNC to pick that candidate without input from the public, I think is wrong."
