(This is a redo of my RFK 1980 TL with a bit of better research and a better backstory

November 12 1967:
WASHINGTON POST:

ROBERT F KENNEDY WILL NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT

Despite all the hoopla senator Kennedy (D-NY) has decided not to run for president in 1968 to follow in his late brother's footsteps.

Kennedy came out and told the press

"I feel like I am being forced to run for president not really I want to do by myself. I just want to be focus on the senate for at least now"

Kennedy was second behind Lyndon Johnson in a Washington Post Democratic nomination poll last month.
