Kerry Kennedy made the revealing slip in an interview with CNN
RFK Jr’s sister Kerry Kennedy told CNN viewers to vote for Trump, before realising her mistake and telling them to vote for Biden.
“Don’t do it. Vote for Trump. Excuse me–vote for Biden!”
Kennedy laughed nervously.
In recent days the Kennedy family have made clear their support for President Biden, at the expense of their own presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running as an independent.
On Thursday, they formally endorsed Biden’s re-election bid at a campaign rally in Philadelphia.
“We want to make crystal clear our feeling that the best way forward for America is to reelect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to four more years,” said Kerry Kennedy, at the event, as she introduced the President.
“A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for our democracy and our decency. It is a vote for what my father called for in his own presidential announcement in 1968 ‘our right to the moral leadership of this planet.’”
In response, Biden said it was the “most meaningful introduction” he has ever received from anyone besides his sister Valerie.
“What an incredible honor. I don’t want to become emotional, but what an incredible honor to have the support of the Kennedy family.”

A number of Kennedys were in attendance at the Philadelphia event, including former U.S. Reps. Joe Kennedy II and Joe Kennedy III, who is serving as the United States special envoy for Northern Ireland.
Other Kennedys who have given their name to the Biden endorsement included Beth Kennedy, Christopher Kennedy, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy, Vicki Strauss Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Kerry Kennedy Meltzer, Max Meltzer, Ted Kennedy Jr., Stephen Kennedy Smith, Peter McKelvy and Rebeca McKelvy.
