RFK Jr. May Drop Out of Race and Endorse Trump, Running Mate Says

The Spin

This is heartening news for Republicans, as the RFK campaign wakes up to the fact that the Democratic Party is the biggest threat to freedom, as they try mercilessly to shut down the Kennedy-Shanahan campaign. They deserve plaudits for acknowledging that a Harris presidency would be a disaster, and that Trump would welcome independent-minded voters into the fold.

The mask is finally off on the Kennedy campaign, as they finally admit that they are far from independent and instead seek to aid the Republicans. He has ceaselessly attempted to court the support of the Trump campaign, as his running mate also says that Trump would be better for the country than Harris. The third-party guise is fooling no one, as Kennedy inches closer towards a Trump endorsement.

Kennedy potentially dropping out does not speak to the weakness of his campaign but to the strength of it. The fact that an independent, grass-roots movement has brought the Democrats and Republicans to the table to vie for his support goes to show the power the third-party can wield. The Kennedy campaign is about solutions, not partisanship, and they will work with whomever will commit to making the country better.
