Bobby Kennedy Jr. is cheering on his cousin Caroline as she makes a run for Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat. But some Democrats still wonder why the “better-qualified Kennedy” isn’t laying claim to the office his father once held.

Today marks 45 years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
