Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s backers are not just reminiscing about his past political aspirations; they are actively preparing for his potential future ones. His supporters have breathed new life into the We The People Party, a political platform established during Kennedy's independent presidential bid in 2024, which may now serve as his springboard for the 2028 elections.

Levi Leatherberry, now at the helm of the party and a former Kennedy campaign staffer, shared that their immediate goal is to secure ballot access in numerous states, starting with New York. "We only need to get to, like, 26 states for it to be as useful as it will be to any presidential candidate,” Leatherberry explained. This strategy is not just about expanding the party’s footprint; it's about making a substantial impact on the national political landscape.

The party aims to attract voters from across the political spectrum who resonate with the medical freedom movement, a central theme of Kennedy’s previous campaign and a focal point of the current political discourse. Despite Kennedy's switch to support Trump in the last election, his supporters see a distinct path for him, or a like-minded candidate, under the We The People Party banner.

Leatherberry has ambitious plans for the party, hoping to see it represented in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. He believes that even without full national coverage, the party can significantly influence the presidential race by offering an alternative to the traditional two-party candidates.

The restructuring of the party was marked by a livestreamed organizing event where Leatherberry outlined plans to endorse a candidate by the next presidential election, bypassing the costly and complicated process required for independents. "Our candidate will be on — free, day one," he declared, emphasizing the strategic advantage of running under a party banner.

So far, the only candidate to embrace the We The People Party endorsement is Larry Sharpe, a seasoned politician with roots in the Libertarian Party, who is vying for the governorship of New York. Success in his campaign could pave the way for the party's candidates in future electoral contests.

Sharpe described the party as fundamentally anti-establishment, a sentiment that resonates with a broad segment of American voters disillusioned with the current political system. "It is basically an anti-establishment party,” Sharpe stated, highlighting the party’s broad, inclusive ideology.

While the party's leadership remains officially neutral on Kennedy's 2028 run, Sharpe expressed hope that Kennedy would lead the charge, given the absence of other prominent figures willing to take up the mantle.

As the We The People Party gears up for the 2028 race, it remains to be seen how this revitalized political force will shape the broader landscape of American politics, potentially altering the dynamics of presidential elections and beyond.
