Philadelphia (AFP) - The legendary Kennedy clan endorsed US President Joe Biden during a campaign trip to Philadelphia Thursday -- underscoring the election threat posed by family black sheep and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "I don't want to become emotional, but what an incredible honor to have the support of the Kennedy family," Biden, 81, said after 15 members of politically storied family backed the Democrat against Donald Trump. The Kennedy endorsement is also crucial amid fears that a strong showing by conspiracy theorist and vaccine-skeptic "RFK Jr" could tilt the electio...

By Andrew CABALLERO-REYNOLDS, avec Danny KEMP à Washington Philadelphie (États-Unis) (AFP) - Toute la légendaire famille Kennedy, ou "presque", a apporté jeudi un soutien très recherché au président Joe Biden, dont la campagne pour demeurer à la Maison Blanche est en partie fragilisée par la candidature rivale du neveu de "JFK", Robert Kennedy Junior. "Je ne veux pas être submergé par l'émotion, mais c'est un honneur extraordinaire d'avoir le soutien de la famille Kennedy", a déclaré Joe Biden, lors d'un meeting de campagne à Philadelphie. Pas moins de 15 membres du clan Kennedy ont affiché da...

Washington (AFP) - Armed with the most storied surname in US politics, Robert F. Kennedy's wildcard shot for the presidency holds a clear and present danger for Joe Biden's hopes of a second term in the White House. The environmental lawyer and conspiracy theorist is boasting double-digit support, and polling suggests that independent candidate "RFK Jr" is hurting the president more than Republican challenger Donald Trump. Democrats have learned to fear long-shot outsiders after George W. Bush and Donald Trump won tight elections in 2000 and 2016, buoyed by Green Party candidates leeching vote...

Oakland (United States) (AFP) - Independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced wealthy Silicon Valley lawyer and political newcomer Nicole Shanahan as his running mate Tuesday, as he pursues an anti-establishment campaign seen as an increasing threat to Democrat Joe Biden. The nephew of John F. Kennedy and prominent vaccine skeptic is more popular than any independent candidate since Ross Perot in 1992, with average support of around 12 percent nationwide. Democrats fear that nostalgia for their party's iconic political dynasty could make a significant dent in Biden's v...

Washington (AFP) - A new trove of secret files related to the November 1963 assassination of US president John F. Kennedy was released on Thursday, but the White House held thousands of documents back, citing national security concerns. The Warren Commission that investigated the shooting of the charismatic 46-year-old president determined that it was carried out by a former Marine sharpshooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone. That formal conclusion has done little, however, to quell speculation that a more sinister plot was behind Kennedy's November 22, 1963 murder in Dallas, Texas, and the ...

Washington (AFP) - US authorities released thousands of pages of secret documents Wednesday on president John F. Kennedy's assassination, a case that still fuels conspiracy theories despite the official conclusion he was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. The CIA and FBI files show US investigators spread their net wide and deep to find out if Oswald conspired with others in the November 22, 1963 murder that shocked the world. Documents show they chased down myriad leads, from Soviet intelligence to African communist groups and the Italian mafia. The papers also show the extensive US efforts to spy on...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The man convicted of shooting dead Robert F. Kennedy in a 1968 assassination that rocked the United States was granted parole Friday. Sirhan Sirhan, now 77, has been behind bars for five decades -- despite doubts that he fired the shots that likely changed the course of US politics. Kennedy, the younger brother of slain president John F. Kennedy, was campaigning for the Democratic nomination when he was gunned down in a Los Angeles hotel. His murder came just months after the killing of Black civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, and as a divided America was deep in an...

Having been forced by the pandemic to cancel the gala last winter, the center held a more subdued ser...
