As some of you may have heard, current third-party candidate and former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Republican Donald Trump. A summary of his statement, and a link to the actual speech, may be found in this column by Ward Clark, one of my RedState colleagues.
Throughout the campaign, the Republicans and Democrats fought long and hard about which candidate, Biden/Harris or Trump, would be hurt/helped by RFK Jr. My two cents has always been that RFK Jr. would (eventually) hurt the Democrats more, since his Kennedy family is intrinsically connected to the Democrat Party, and he was a more left-leaning candidate. (Anyone ever heard of John F. Kennedy’s Camelot, or RFK Sr., or Teddy Kennedy?)
But now, the question is, how does RFK Jr.’s suspension of his candidacy and his endorsement of Trump play out?
The Trump campaign…
