Recently, former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he would be actively campaigning with former President Donald Trump as the election approaches.  Last week, Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump.  RFK Jr. also suggested that more Democrats would disavow the Harris-Walz campaign and side with the Republican presidential candidate.

Kennedy sat down with Fox News over the weekend, predicting that Trump would soon begin making announcements about others across the aisle who would endorse his campaign.“I’m going to be campaigning actively,” he said. “I think President Trump is going to make a series of announcements about other Democrats who are joining his campaign, and you know, I want to make America healthy again, and so does President Trump. So those are objectives.”

RFK Jr. also addressed criticism he received from the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board after Trump indicated he would be working with Kennedy in his upcoming administration. After Kennedy’s monumental endorsement, the former president touted big plans he had for the independent challenger in his presidency if reelected.

“The Wall Street Journal may be worried about shareholder value for pharmaceutical companies,” RFK Jr. stated. “And I think, you know, I talked specifically to President Trump about that issue, and he said that he wanted to leave, as his legacy, healthy children, and that, you know, that he was unconcerned about the other implications.”

The American Tribune recently reported on Democrats analyzing the sobering implications of RFK Jr. dropping out of the race and throwing his support behind Trump.  According to some polls, Kennedy maintained between 5 and 6% of the vote in some critical battleground states, where if those voters backed Trump, it could drastically change the landscape of the election.

“The latest swing state polls show Kennedy with five or six percent of the vote,” CNN’s Erin Burnett said last week, noting Kennedy’s endorsement could have a “huge” impact on the race. The host further cited a recent New York Times/Siena College poll showing Kennedy with 6% support in Arizona and Nevada and 5% in Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

“And so, when you think about it overall, and they say ‘Well, that’s not a big deal.’ Actually, if that is the case in swing states, it is huge. It is everything. It is more than the margin between Harris and Trump in some of those same states,” she continued.

Furthermore, polling expert Frank Luntz weighed in, “It’s probably worth about 1% for Trump, and that 1% could be everything if it’s in all the swing states. In the end, the reason why Kennedy was strong 10%, 12%, even as high as 14% is because he was taking votes away from Joe Biden. Joe Biden is gone. Kamala Harris has replaced him, and his vote collapsed down to about 4% or 5%. And what’s left is a Trump vote.”

He continued, “Some of them are simply not going to participate in November. Roughly 2 to 1, the ones who are remaining will vote for Trump over Harris. And that’s worth a single percent. And a single percent can make the difference in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.”
