Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to address the nation about his path forward in the presidential race Friday from Phoenix, Arizona.
Kennedy’s press secretary, Stefanie Spear, posted the announcement about "the present historic moment and his path forward" on social media on Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes after Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, blasted Democrats on Tuesday, saying she "fully supports" a role for Kennedy in a future Trump administration. Shanahan also hinted that they could end their campaign and back former President Trump.
Coincidentally, Trump is holding an Arizona rally on Friday in Glendale, which is about 20 minutes from Phoenix.
"There's two options that we're looking at," Shanahan said. "One is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency, because we draw votes from Trump or we draw somehow more votes from Trump. Or, we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump. We walk away from that and we explain to our base why we're making this decision."

My prediction is exactly the same as it was months ago, when he got started.
It's a ploy that's been worked on for a long time now. And it always had one goal, to take away voters from Biden. However, the entrance of Harris foiled those plans and now they have to re-adjust.
From the moment Kennedy ran as a Democrat, and the party and his family disowned him, everyone knew he was meant to be a spoiler for Trump. They just think alike, they say similar things and so on.
Then when he got to about 15% of the Dem votes, he left the party and went independent, hoping to drag that 15% with him.
But, once Biden dropped out and Kamala became the candidate, everything changed. The Democrats that may have been interested in Kennedy went for Harris and his campaign tanked down to single digits. He just lost a case to be on the ballot in a couple of states.
He has no path forward, and he is not taking any votes from Harris. So the only thing left to do, since he is working with Trump and has all along, is to endorse the boss.
Here is what Kennedy's VP pick Nicole Shanahan said yesterday:
"There's two options that we're looking at," Shanahan said. "One is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency, because we draw votes from Trump or we draw somehow more votes from Trump. Or, we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump. We walk away from that and we explain to our base why we're making this decision."
I think it's pretty clear they support Trump, as they have all along. He started Democrat, but now we know why, and we also know people who saw through him months ago were all correct. And prescient.
If Trump wasn't in on this all along, as I suggest he was, then he should be on guard with these two. They flip-flop more than any other politicians we know, and they'll always do and say whatever gets them ahead. If they can leave the Dem party and then the Independents in just a few months, how can he be sure they'll stuck by him?

They know exactly what they are doing.
Trouble is, the propaganda doesn't work as well on a medium where it can be discussed, scrutinized and checked for facts.
I've often wondered if they believe we are stupid enough to fall for it or if they are stupid and useful to their betters.
