As Democrats panic over President Joe Biden’s wobbling reelection bid, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he’s ready to bail out the party as a replacement for the 81-year-old. 

A lifelong Democrat, Kennedy left his party last year to mount an independent bid for the presidency. At the time, he said he believed the party establishment had rigged the Democratic primary in favor of President Joe Biden. On Thursday, Kennedy offered his services to his old party as many Democrats consider alternatives to Biden.
