COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)—Earlier this week Robert F. Kennedy Junior filed paper work with the Federal Election Commission to run for the democratic nomination for president.

Kennedy is the son of the former New York senator and Attorney General who shared his name.

Robert Kennedy Senior was assassinated in 1968.

RFK Junior is also the nephew of the late President John Kennedy.
