Kennedy’s Running Mate Suggests They May Drop Out of the Presidential Race and Endorse Trump
Kennedy has been funded by a bunch of billionaires who thought his name would funnel votes away from Biden. But the brain worms mad him weird enough that Democratic voters aren't willing to vote for him in significant numbers.

Oof. They realized they were spoiling the vote for Republicans more than Democrats and their little plan backfired hahaha!
Shitbags gonna shitbag.
(Shit)birds of a feather flock together.
RIP Mr. Lahey.
I love how these articles never even name RFK Jr's running name. No one knows her or her name,. If the article had said "Alisha Glacer" everyone would have been like "who?"
It’s the name of his brain worm
Weirdos.
This is actually pretty worrying. A lot of polls show Harris doing better with RFK and co on the ballot. From split polling, seems like RFK was pulling supporters from both camps but at a 3:1 ratio of trumpers. If even half of those go back to trump that'd be really bad news.
Recent polls I've seen show Harris doing as well or better without RFK.
Yougov 8/14-16: Harris +2 with RFK, +3 without RFK
Outward Intelligence 8/11-15: Harris +6 with or without RFK
Emerson College 8/12-14: Harris +4 with or without RFK
Ipsos 8/9-13: Harris +3 with RFK, +4 without RFK
Totally fair, thanks for sharing and I love that you brought the receipts! I'm thinking of the last NYT/Sienna poll (which is kind of the gold standard) I recall. Should dive in again now that polling is a little more settled!
Yeah, it doesn't matter for her.
My step mother was planning on voting for RFK dad is full on trump... now it's two trumps... I only cancel 1 of my family =/
Polls are useless. Just go vote everyone!
Hopefully Kennedy doesn't get fuck... in the end he's just a Trump toady.
Wow what a winner.
About to endorse a whiner.
Who even is his running mate? I have no idea about her
She married one of the Google founders for a few years, divorced him, and walked away with billion-dollar kind of money. Kennedy wanted her as a running mate because he figured she'd fund the campaign.
He already tried to sell his voters to Harris. https://youtu.be/cpiAjK_6XGc
Looks like Trump’s buy’n.
Damn, Dementia DonOLD is going to be doing great with the additional three votes they're going to bring.
Nicole Shanahan seems to fit the definition of a psychopath.
I kinda assumed this was part of their plan. Rope along some Republicans who are too moderate(?) for Trump, then ditch at the last minute and tell them they have to vote for Trump now. Gives less chance that they'll have time to sway to Dems or other 3rd party candidates
Given the way elections are run in this country, running third party is only going to be about being a spoiler. You are never going to win.
As for voting: voting third party is always going to be just throwing your vote away. You might as well set fire to your ballot.
Who?
