Kamala's margins are the same on H2H polls. This won't change anything.

Another FAILED GOP agenda, they put him in there as a stooge to steal votes away from the Dems, it backfired on them, like most stuff does.

Not surprised at all that RFK Jr. might drop out and endorse Trump.

Only getting out since their campaign is pulling more from Trump than Harris ...

RFK Jr.'s running mate says they might end campaign and endorse Trump

Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., declared on a podcast that their campaign may be coming to an end. But she says they’re not just thinking about closing up shop and saying farewell to supporters. They’re considering endorsing Donald Trump.

“There’s two options that we're looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan told the business podcast “Impact Theory.” “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and, you know, we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we're making this decision.”

Kennedy’s biggest contributor just so happens to be Trump’s biggest contributor, who no doubt thought Kennedy would draw votes from President Joe Biden. But since Biden stepped aside and the Democratic Party has rallied behind Vice President Kamala Harris, Kennedy’s campaign has been shrinking toward irrelevance. Worse, as Shanahan acknowledges in her interview, recent polling shows Kennedy pulls more votes from Trump than from Harris.

So it’s time to end the charade that the Kennedy campaign was ever serious about anything other than helping Trump.

Shanahan’s full appearance is … something. It’s full of claims that the Democratic National Committee has “shadow-banned” Kennedy’s campaign (though what it’s been banned from is not clear), that it blocked him from participating in debates (which, in reality, he failed to qualify for), and that it “planted insiders” to corrupt the campaign.

This is the same campaign best known for explaining that the candidate recently had a brain worm, that he planted a dead bear cub in Central Park, and that he reportedly apologized for sexually assaulting a babysitter by sending a text. It’s fair to say that if Democratic insiders were attempting to disrupt the Kennedy campaign, their actions never rose close to the level of sabotage that Kennedy inflicted on himself.

The truth is that Kennedy never had real appeal as a candidate beyond those who knew absolutely nothing other than his name—or those who shared one or more of his odious conspiracy theories.

Shanahan is the ex-wife of Google founder Sergei Brin. She brought to the campaign an estimated net worth of over $1 billion and her own set of conspiracy theories, including one proposing that the key to increasing fertility is “two hours of morning sunlight.”

In the interview with “Impact Theory,” Shahanan expresses some desire to stay in the race, most of which seems to be focused on the $13 million in public funding that might be accessible if she and Kennedy could obtain over 5% of the vote. But 538’s polling average shows their campaign getting just under that share, at 4.8%—and it’s decreasing with time. Even someone deeply enmeshed in junk science as Shanahan and Kennedy should be capable of seeing that those funds aren’t a good bet.

RFK comes off looking more of a slimeball, he`s just prostituting himself to the highest bidder, Harris said NO so he had to go to trump and if he doesn't get his deal, he will show them all and stay in the race and get his 2% in Nov.................I could certainly see his wife not wanting anything to do with trump

You can't take this guy seriously, his motives reek of greed so he should join the gop, he would fit in nicely

When rfk defenders throw in your face that he was a eco warrior fighting the good fight to save the environment and fight big corporations, this tells you everything you need to know about how fake it was. A difference of opinion on vaccines makes you want to now work with the party that makes fun of environmentalists and are abject climate deniers?

No one swaps principles like this unless they never had principles in the first place.

Also RFK got into eco activism because of court mandated community service.

Consider Trump's own VP once compared him to Hitler and called him "cultural heroine" consistency of beliefs doesn't matter at all to MAGA.

This is a good get for Trump, in a race that’s polling so close, this could make the difference.

RFK was intended to siphon democrat votes but he was always a trojan horse for the GOP. Taking a hypothetical position in a possible Trump admin shows he never was a true member of the democratic party and a disgrace to his name.
