Robert F Kennedy Jr mentioned Joe Biden ’s name eleven times in a speech moments after praising the RNC for not focusing on the US president.

The independent candidate abandoned his own presidential campaign on Friday 23 August and endorsed Republican Donald Trump , ending a bid he began as a Democrat trading on one of the most famous names in American politics.

During a press conference, he railed against chronic disease, “corruption” in health agencies, and the Democratic Party - focusing part of his attack on Mr Biden.

“In Chicago, Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times just on the first day, who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?” he asked.

“In contrast, at the RNC, President Biden was mentioned only twice in four days.”
