The mask is finally off on the Kennedy campaign, as they finally admit that they are far from independent or authentically populist and instead seek to aid the Republicans in November. HeKennedy 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 towardsto a Trump endorsement and potential future Trump-aligned role.

Kennedy's potentiallypotential droppingdropout outdoesn't does not speak to the weakness of his campaign but to theits 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 thethat a third- party can wield. The Kennedy campaign is about solutions, not partisanship, and they will work with whomeverwhoever will commit to making the country better.
