Anumber of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporters recently said on social media they will vote for Donald Trump if the independent presidential candidate drops out of the 2024 election and endorses the Republican nominee as a new poll found that if Kennedy Jr. leaves the race more of his supporters would lean towards backing the former president than Vice President Kamala Harris.
It follows unconfirmed reports that Kennedy Jr. will withdraw from the White House race and offer Trump his endorsement later today. Kennedy Jr. is due to deliver an "address to the nation" at 2 p.m. ET from Phoenix, Arizona, though when contacted by Newsweek his team said they had "no further details to share" about the event.
Kennedy Jr., meanwhile, has already submitted letters to withdraw from the presidential ballot in Arizona, according to the Associated Press. Trump is also due to hold a rally in Glendale, a suburb of Pheonix, later this evening.
Speculation that Kennedy Jr. could drop out of the race surged after Nicole Shanahan, his running mate, suggested the pair could "walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump" in a podcast interview released on Tuesday. In response, Trump praised Kennedy Jr. during a CNN interview, calling him a "brilliant guy," and said he would be "open" to offering him a job in a second Trump administration.
A number of self-described Kennedy Jr. supporters on X, formerly Twitter, said they are either open to switching their votes to Trump should the environmental campaigner and vaccine sceptic leave the contest, or had already decided to do so.

This story is missing the usual name calling and hate (”conspiracy theorist”, “right wing extremist” etc etc etc).
Maybe they are starting to figure out that is one reason the RFK Jr. supporters are disgusted with the mass media.
The Cornell West ballot fights are one state at a time.
You need a spreadsheet to keep track of all the Democrat lawfare.
Based on RFK jr’s family history of his dad and uncle the fact that the Biden administration would NOT provide Secret Service protection to him is one the most despicable political acts I have ever witnessed.
I know that politics is a dirty business, but to deny SS protect to a guy whose father and uncle were both assassinated is just plain EVIL.
Not a chance. Democrats moved on from Hillary Clinton long ago.
She is a proven loser and reminds people of their shrewish mother-in-law.
RFK Jr wont be endorsing Trump today, only his “ideas” he wont endorse Trump til he says that Operation Warp speed was a failure..I dont see why Trump would do that, he didnt force anyone to be vaccinated..he wanted an end to the virus, he thought the vaccine would end it..he never told anyone I demand you to get vaccinated
Shanahan went out and flip-flopped this morning, says no endorsement. We’ll see here in about 12 minutes...
Getting out is good enough.
Me too. Usually independent and libertarian voters siphon votes away from conservatives.
“…………..
Unless there is something more terrifying they want their votes to go against.
In retrospect, perhaps he would have been in MORE danger if the government were the ones “protecting” him.
My mother in law wasn’t as nice as Hillary…..
Either that or their pharma funding is no longer threatened.
“Curiouser and curiouser”—indeed!
True dAT
I suspect the most likely former special forces private security people RFK Jr has around him are probably better than the ones the Feds would provide.
I watch a lot of Charlie Kirk videos on YouTube. The ones where he sets up on college campuses and talks to students.
He always have several bad a$$ looking dudes protecting his six. They all have that former special forces look.
Surprising to me. Mostly, RFK seems to lean pretty far left. Perhaps his aura of anti- establishmentism is bringing his voters to Trump (plus the disgusting and ineligible alternative).
It is good news that RFK voters are going for Trump. Trump will need every vote he can get to defeat the DNC’s election theft machine.
They’ll be making another assassination attempt against Trump before long because Kamala is an ass.
I heard Trump wrote a book.
I think it was Art of the Deal.
What a deal with RFK Jr.
Commies are crying in their beer now.
Giant sucking sound of moderate Dems and Indy go to dark side (Trump / Vance)
