June 9, 1964 | Robert F. Kennedy L.A. Press Conference
June 9, 1964 - Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy was mobbed like a political candidate in Los Angeles yesterday but insisted that “I haven’t made up my mind” on seeking the Vice Presidency or other office.
The magic of the Kennedy name was evident at Roosevelt High School, where squealing teenagers and exuberant adults threw themselves at him in wild abandon.
Cries of “Viva Kennedy!” went up from the stands as the late President’s brother circled the field to shake hands with as many of the 2,000 students as possible. Some held aloft signs reading, “Bob Kennedy for Vice President.”
One group of Girl Scouts sang, “Oh, Bobby, we love you.”
Police were hard pressed to keep the throng back as Kennedy finally was ushered to his car to continue his day-long tour of the Los Angeles area.Although the Attorney General told a news conference later that he hasn’t made up his mind about his political future, one prominent local Democrat said that if public sentiment is for him, it will be impossible to keep him off the ticket with President Johnson.
Kennedy said he intends to leave his Cabinet post between November and January no matter what happens, although he described his relationship with the President as “very cordial.”
“I haven’t been involved in politics really since January of 1961,” he pointed out. “I said I would do whatever President Johnson and the Democratic National Committee want me to.”
As a “political practitioner,” Kennedy said that if there was an attempt in the Republican party to stop the nomination of Senator Barry Goldwater, it was started too late.
He said he believes Goldwater represents the mainstream of the Republican party and that “I think the Democrats are looking forward” to campaigning against him.
