Kennedy, 69, previously revealed he was diagnosed in his early 40s with a rare neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia. What is spasmodic dysphonia? Spasmodic dysphonia is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary spasms in the muscles of the voice box, also known as the larynx, according to John Hopkins Medicine. Spasmodic dysphonia may also be inherited, but a specific gene for the disorder has not yet been identified. Other notable people with spasmodic dysphonia include "Hellboy" actress Selma Blair, CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues, and journalist Diane Rehm.

And while he isn’t going to win, he’ll certainly draw a lot of attention. Even loyal Democrats have gotten kinda bored with our current president, and nobody really loves the idea of him celebrating his 86th birthday in the White House. It’s very clear that many of the folks who’ve told pollsters they want to nominate R.F.K. There was a time — a very long time ago — when the world knew him mainly as a battler for the environment. And even though he must realize his anti-pharmaceutical ranting is not going to win him the nomination, he doesn’t seem quite able to contain himself.
