Happening Now: RFK Jr. speaks amid speculation he'll drop out of presidential race

Whooo doggie, he just came out and reversed his earlier claim from today he would not endorse Trump, and just endorsed him!

But he is staying on the ballot in some states at the same time he endorsed Trump.

You folks know what this means?

They are now a joint campaign. They are working together on getting the same person elected, while they are both on the ballots.

This is now a Trump/Kennedy/Vance/Shanahan ticket against Harris/Walz.

He ran as a Democrat.

Then as an Independent.

Courted BOTH parties when his campaign was floundering.

Now endorses the Republican...

Politics makes strange bedfellows.

Trump should offer Kennedy the head role of the EPA even though he is running on getting rid of the EPA.

an endorsement puts him on the ticket? I'm not sure it works that way.

In the battleground states if Trump gets just that 2-4% nudge from Kennedy's endorsement might be all it takes.

Yea, honestly this is one of the biggest developments post Kamala entering IMO.

Since the rumor started a few days back I noticed Trump regained the favored status with some of the casinos. So it’s seemed to move the needle on some of the trend keepers.

Exactly go look at the states polling results with 3rd party candidates

I wasn't aware RFKjr was polling above 3-4% anywhere he is

RFKjr 6% in Virginia if this puts the Lovers state in play WOW HArris is only up 3%
RFKjr 5% in Arizona
Michigan RFKjr 5.4% half of that flips Michigan which is crazy it's that close
in Georgia RFKjr 3.8%
Pennsylvania RFKjr 4.7%
Wisconsin RFKjr 4.2%
North Carolina RFKjr 3.8%

I'm sure they'll try not to do it that way, Trump doesn't share spotlight, but as long as Kennedy is in the race, on the ballots, while endorsing Trump, they are the same ticket. Courts may force them to say it that way too, who knows.

It's one thing to drop out and endorse someone, like DeSantis or Haley, they no longer have a stake in the game. But it's a whole new level to endorse someone, but keep running.

That means you're running together, even though you want to, for some reasons, to split your own vote. But only in some places where your two campaigns coordinate and decide it is beneficial for the one endorsed.

This is like watching Roger Stone make a battle plan for them.

Courts may force them to say it......

Always interesting to see the masks slip.

Just think about this level of coordination:

B: Hey Donny!

D: Hey Bobby!

B: Let's sit down and go state by state and decide what helps us most in getting you elected Donny!

D: Sounds good to me!

B: Ok California, what do we do there?

D: Well, I'm not gonna win California, but you can take away a lot of popular vote there, so why don't you stay on the ballot there?

B: Sounds peachy! What about Georgia?

D: Are you kidding me? A battleground state? You need to remove yourself from the ballot there. We need to win that one.

B: Okey-dokey, boss!

As always the Babylon Bee has its hilarious satirical take

a reply to: Mahogani

While you're fantasizing about your ideal conspiracy theory, the party you support installed a candidate no one voted for while also gaslighting the nation on the current POTUS mental decline.


But do go on......

I heard a talking head state that Trump should appoint JR head of the FBI if he wins. 😁

RFKjr did it perfectly he pulled out of the battleground states and solidly backed Trump.

In the battleground states if Trump gets just that 2-4% nudge from Kennedy's endorsement might be all it takes.

Perfect👍

He has suspended his campaign and endorsed trump.

That’s going to put a few percentage points in Trumps favor, which is pretty big given how close we’re getting to the election, and how close it has appeared recently.

Also, I find the term suspended campaign sort of odd. Like does that mean he might un-suspend it?

I suppose it’s a political word, meaning he might run again in the future for another presidential bid… Though, he made that tricky since his positioning of being third party was to push back on the big two, only to concede and endorse one.

I like how he "chose" to suspend his campaign, unlike Biden having his campaign suspended for him by his own commie socialite pals who stopped loving him when things got rough.

Now RFK may be a little crazy about all sorts of things, but he gets to have some dignity. The DNC and democrat party have no dignity and don't represent anything that has any real value to anyone, except deviants'.

Looks like RFK saw that too, and said as much. There is hope for him afterall.

a reply to: Mahogani

The saddest part is you think a Kennedy would say Okey-dokey, boss!

again run a real primary, and RFKjr would have ran as a Democrat.

The DNC couldn't have somebody questioning the DNC's COVID narrative in a debate against Biden..... thats preposterous.

It's why the DNC froze him out.

I don't know why you are obsessing over the popular vote when the Electoral process is the only one that matters, it was good enough for Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden

Carter won going against an incumbent President while being the first candidate from the Deep South, he never bitched about the popular vote which he won by 2.1%

any DNC and Harris/Walz squealing now is weak sauce....

RFK Jr is removing his name from ballots in
battleground states.

In those states, he urged people to vote for
President Donald Trump, and has endorsed Trump.

He didn't hold back, and blasted the DNC with
full force, for all the right reasons.

Mainly, to save Democracy. It is obvious
that he actually cares, unlike Biden Harris Walz,
whom only care about retaining power so that
they can amass more power and encroach on
liberties, implementing more authoritarianism.

Thank you RFK Jr!

The right wouldn't meme so much if the extremist left wasn't such a sad parody of everything they claim to stand for.

This isn't satire, it's just the truth...

a reply to: Mahogani

After reading your last couple of posts I find myself wondering if you ever live in reality with the rest of the sane folks out here...but then I know you probably do which leave you being one of the most transparent propagandists on ATS these days. You are going to have to do better to convince anyone of what you are trying to...start by not being 180° from reality all the time...maybe only 45° most of the time.

As far as my opinion you are a disgusting disingenuous person and I am glad RFK endorsed Trump and called out the DNC and mainstream establishment for their lies and corruption.
