He’s a moderate Republican running as a Democrat. Absurd. This country keeps sprinting towards the right wing.

There's nothing moderate about Kennedy, he's a full-blown MAGA far-righter. Which is why he's being laughed out of the Democratic primary, thank God.

As a foreigner, why isn't he thrown out of the party? It's what we would do.

There’s not going to be a primary, so it doesn’t matter.

There’s no mechanism to throw him out of the party. Party membership in the US is completely informal, unlike many other countries. You’re basically a member if you say you are and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
