According to the NBC News report, people close to the family say that strengthening the Kennedys’ commitment could take different forms.

Some family members expect to spend time on the campaign trail this fall, which could mean more media appearances or lending their names to initiatives to counter Kennedy’s campaign for others.

It comes as Kennedy’s independent bid for the White House is seen as a potential spoiler that helps former President Donald Trump while hurting Biden’s re-election bid in November.

Recent polls in several battleground states show that, with Kennedy in the race, Trump’s lead is expanding in crucial swing states that Biden must win to win re-election.

NBC reported that several sources familiar say the Biden camp is letting the Kennedys take the lead in helping the president’s campaign.

Since Kennedy launched his candidacy nearly a year ago, first as a Democrat last April before becoming an independent in October, a number of his family members have spoken out against his run for the House White.

“Our brother Bobby’s decision to run as a third-party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous for our country,” his siblings Rory, Kerry, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend said in a statement last fall.

They said that although Bobby shares the same name as their father, “he does not share the same values, the same vision or the same judgment.”

On Monday, Kennedy was asked in an interview on NewsNation about messages from his family members gathered at the White House with Biden. Kennedy insisted he had family supporting his campaign.

“Well, first of all, I would like to point out, as you know, Chris, even though it seems like a big crowd of people. It’s a very small percentage of my family,” Kennedy told host Chris Cuomo . “Last July 4, I think there were 105 people in Cape Town.”

“And many other members of my family work for my campaign, many other members of my family support my campaign,” he added.

Asked about reports that members of the Kennedy family are stepping up, DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said a picture is worth a thousand words.

It’s telling that the people who know RFK Jr. best are standing with Joe Biden in this election.
