@hightor,
I think ol' RFK Jr needs to double down.
RFK hasn't had a public event in several months now and he just lost his access to the NY ballot because he falsified his address. Honestly it feels like he got his 15 minutes and now he's lost interest. I also think he might have drawn some voters from Biden, he will likely draw more Trump voters than Harris voters.
@engineer,
Can you add RFK's name to the tags to make this easier to find?
@Frank Apisa,
There was a rumor that Robert F. Kennedy and his VP choice would drop out of the presidential race and would throw their endorsement to Trump.
RFK Jr. endorses Trump after weeks of back-channel courtship
@tsarstepan,
Supposedly, Orange Jebus won't talk to him and Kamala Harris ignored his overtures. He wanted to quit and get a payday for an endorsement, for less than 5% of "likely" voters.
I've also heard OJ has decided he really doesn't want to run for President but can't figure out how to back out AND keep up the income stream.
@tsarstepan,
I really wonder when RFK jr looks at Trump's platform and his own, where he sees common ground.
Over at 538.com, they had the following take.
- RFK's support was 8% before Biden dropped out, only 4% now, so likely that the missing 4% went to Harris.
- The remaining voters are protest voters, they know RFKjr can't win, so they are mostly in states where their votes don't matter.
- Of the remaining voters, they lean Trump. Overall, they think Trump gains 0.5%.
Trump may win, and help to the climate crisis will be over, and things will be ruined. Harris may win, aggression around the world is increasing, especially from Russia, which would lead to greater war. See what having government gets us?
@FredBquick,
How long have you been out of touch with reality?

Trump will weaken American democracy. Trump has promised online to use the Justice Department to punish his political opponents when he is president again, including with use of long term prison sentences.
Presidents have traditionally not inserted themselves into criminal cases. But that has been a choice; a president has the power to issue orders to the Justice Department. In his first term, Trump demanded investigations of at least ten people, sometimes damaging their lives. Trump could order more investigations in a second term, given his staffing plans.
