Kennedy Endorses Trump

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who comes from America’s most iconic Democrat political family, just suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump for president.

He gave a blistering speech warning about the danger the neo-Marxist left presents to “existential issues,” as Kennedy called them – the undermining of our democracy in the name of saving democracy, the weaponization of government, and the growing threat to free speech from the left’s censorship industrial complex.

In a somewhat odd statement, Kennedy said he would remain on the ballot in states that are safe for either Harris or Trump but would take his name off the ballot in the critical swing states. He said he didn’t want to be a spoiler and hand the election to Harris.

How this impacts the race remains to be seen. But one recent analysis found that 50% of the people backing third-party candidates (mostly Kennedy voters) would shift to Trump, while 25% would go with Harris.

I noted recently that some pollsters are questioning the methodology and sampling of the Big Media polls that seem to favor Harris. Well, let’s assume those polls are accurate. It’s still bad news for Harris.

At this point in the 2016 race, Hillary Clinton led Donald Trump in the polls by 5.5 points.

At this point in the 2020 race, Joe Biden led Donald Trump by 7.8 points.

Trump won in 2016 and narrowly lost in 2020.

The polling clearly underestimates Trump’s strength.

And right now, Harris’s lead over Trump is just 1.5 points, which suggests Trump is probably up 3 to 5 points.
