President Joe Biden is in trouble after a huge line of people waited to watch Democratic presidential opponent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the president’s home state of New Hampshire.
On Tuesday, Kennedy Jr. appeared at Saint Anselm College in Manchester and discussed peace and diplomacy.
“I abhor Russia’s brutal and bloody invasion of that nation,” the presidential hopeful said of the Russia-Ukraine war. “But we must understand that our government has also contributed to its circumstances with repeated, deliberate provocations of Russia going back to the 1990s.”
“Democratic and Republican administrations have pushed NATO to Russia’s borders, violated our own solemn promise in the early nineties when we pledged that if Russia made this terrible concession of moving 400,000 troops out of East Germany and allowing the unification of Germany under a possible NATO army,” he continued.
Prior to his speech, Democrats showed up to the campus in full force, and videos show that there were huge lines to get to hear Kennedy Jr. speak. Security measures were placed outside the college to ensure his safety.

Continuing with his speech, Kennedy Jr. talked about the importance of establishing diplomacy between the U.S. and Russia.
“Today, America has broken off practically all diplomatic contact with Russia, so the communication has indeed become a little more than an exchange of threats and insults,” he warned. “FDR met with Stalin. JFK met with Khrushchev Nixon met with Brezhnev. Reagan met with Gorbachev.
“Can’t Biden meet with Putin?” Kennedy Jr. then asked.
Following his speech, local media asked attendees what they thought of Kennedy Jr. and whether he could beat Biden in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries.
“He speaks a lot of truth, and he’s a very personable human being,” said Mike Sweeney from Albany, adding that Kennedy Jr. can topple Biden “one hundred percent. We wouldn’t be here otherwise. People have eyes, and things are so far off the rails that I think just being real is going to be the thing that gets through.”
“I think he should stick to doing podcasts. Don’t go on any mainstream networks. I think he should keep with the strategy he’s going with,” said Matt Burgess from Massachusetts. “I think he can win.”
