Kennedys are set to leave RFK Jr. in the cold and campaign for BIDEN in 2024: Members of political dynasty say White House family portrait WAS to show they will be backing Joe

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. mounts his independent bid for the White House, some members of the extended Kennedy family are set to begin a more active effort to help President Joe Biden win reelection in November according to a new report.

On Sunday, dozens of members of the political dynasty from multiple generations gathered at the White House for St. Patrick's Day where they were pictured posing on the Rose Garden steps with President Biden. 

'From one proud Irish family to another — it was good to have you all back at the White House,' Biden posted on social media in response to a post with the photograph by Kerry Kennedy, the youngest daughter to late Senator Bobby Kennedy and sister to RFK Jr.

Other Kennedys in the photo included Kerry's daughter Mariah Kennedy-Cuomo, sister Rory Kennedy, former Rep. Joe Kennedy III, who serves as Biden's special envoy to Northern Ireland and former Rep. Patrick Kennedy.

A senior member of the Kennedy family told NBC News there was a point of having everybody there for the gathering.

 The senior member added 'I think timing is everything.'

An NBC News report says members of the Kennedy family are set to step up efforts to help Biden's campaign as Robert Kennedy Jr. runs as an independent in the 2024 election

According to the NBC News report, people close to the family say the Kennedys stepping up engagement could take different forms. 

Some family members expect to spend time on the campaign trail this fall while it could mean increased 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 viewed as a potential spoiler that helps former President Donald Trump while hurting Biden's reelection bid in November. 

Recent polls out of multiple battleground states show with Kennedy in the race, Trump's lead expands in crucial swing states Biden must win to be reelected. 

NBC reported multiple sources familiar say Biden camp is letting the Kennedys take the lead on helping the president's campaign.

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

'The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous to our country,' his siblings Rory, Kerry, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend said in a statement last fall. 

They said while Bobby shares the same name as their father, 'he does not share the same values, vision or judgement.'

On Monday, Kennedy was asked in an interview on NewsNation about the posts of his family members gathering at the White House with Biden. Kennedy insisted he has family supporting his campaign.

'Well, first of all, I would point out, as you know, Chris, although that looks like a big crowd of people. It is a very small percentage of my family,' Kennedy told anchor Chris Cuomo. 'Last July 4, I think there was 105 people at the Cape.'

'And many other family members are working for my campaign, many other family members support it,' he added.

When asked about report that Kennedy family members will be stepping up their effort, DNC spokesperson 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.'
