RFK speaks in Phoenix at noon on Friday. Trump plans to speak at a rally near Phoenix at 4. People are cautioning that the endorsement is not a done deal but it looks pretty likely. Per Washington Post, RFK wanted a cabinet post from Harris but "Harris allies have rebuffed requests for a meeting, and dismissed Kennedy as a 'MAGA-funded fringe candidate.' "
Remarkable that a man (RFK) who has considered himself an environmental hero would support an anti-environment champion. I would compare it to his father, RFK Sr., endorsing George Wallace.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a lifelong Democrat, is ending his independent run for the Presidency and will endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump. Kennedy initially ran as a Democrat in the 2024 primaries, then left that primary to run as an independent.
This confirms what we know: Kennedy Jr. was running a diet MAGA campaign anyway, and that most of his voters were previous Trump voters for 2016 and/or 2020.
ABC is reporting that RFK Jr. is going to drop out. He is making a speech tomorrow. Most likely will endorse Trump.
That's certainly going to piss off the Kennedy family.
I wonder how Thanksgiving dinner is going to be like with them and RFK Jr. I'd imagine there's going to be fighting.
I'd expect he won't be invited. Even before now he'd have been the stereotypical "crazy uncle" that everyone else complained about.
I doubt rat f*ck jr is invited to a family TG dinner

The question is what does the 2-5% who say they are voting for him do? Stay home? Trump? Harris?
The 0.2% who would have actually voted for him vote Trump (or waste their vote) and affect essentially nothing.
I would think that he would also be unqualified.
