I suspect that Trump and Vivek had a strategy of letting Vivek say things that Trump himself couldn't say without drawing fire from the Mainstream Media. Vivek's job was to push the Overton Window by making those statements in public. Then, having dropped out of the race, endorsed Trump and become Trump's most vehement defender, Vivek got these subjects out in the open without damaging Trump. He acted as a lightning rod.
I suspect the same is true with Kennedy. RFK's job is to undercut the Democrat nominee -- be it Biden, Harris, Newsom or Michelle Obama -- by attacking from the left. As it becomes more apparent that RFK was right about vaccines, he will draw even more votes from the Democrat nominee. This will permit Trump to pick up true-blue states like Waashington state, Minnesota, New York and even California.
But it's much bigger than that.
Trump can't govern effectively unless he wins both a popular vote and electoral vote landslide like FDR, LBJ, Nixon and Reagan. He has to cause massive damage to the Democrats down-ticket so that his large majorities in Congress will pass his agenda with little or no resistance.
If Kennedy campaigns for candidates for the House and Senate from the Green or Libertarian parties, he splits the Democrats' votes and ushers in Republicans who normally wouldn't have had a chance of victory.
The goal here is to split the Democrats into at least two parties so that they cannot be a political threat to a second Trump term. Or ever again.
