Actress Alicia Silverstone endorsed 2024 Democratic candidate and top Biden challenger Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on [June 7] while admitting she’s been disappointed by the Democratic Party.
“Last year, I cancelled my Democratic Party registration and registered as an Independent voter,” Silverstone wrote on Instagram. “Like many others, I am deeply disappointed with political leadership at every turn.”
The actress appealed to others who “felt disenfranchised by our government” to give the Biden challenger a chance. She argued Kennedy could unite the country and help both “young and old to trust our government once again.”
Silverstone is known for her animal rights advocacy and anti-vaccine sentiments. In her post, Silverstone revealed she’d worked with Kennedy on children’s health and environmental issues for over a decade.

In his launch speech, Kennedy claimed that state and corporate powers have “poisoned our children and our people with chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs, strip mine our assets to hollow out the middle class and keep us in a constant state of war.”
Kennedy pledged to unite the country around common values rather than divisive topics. “I’m going to do that by telling the truth to the American people,” he said.
