Supposedly, RFK will endorse her today.
Then maybe in a week or two Kamala will put him in as VP. A Kennedy on the ticket would be helpful to her.
Hm. He is giving a press conference today at 5 p.m. ET at the Kennedy Compound, Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Trying to find a place to stream it online.
She will get 2 points above her favorabile percentage in the election.
So will Trump.
RFK 7-10%
This seems to be what he’s angling for. Just now:

I commend President Biden for stepping down. His infirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning. It was this progressive deterioration — and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles — that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump.
Yet the response of the DNC was to try and hide President Biden’s degeneration from the American public and disable democracy to ram him through to his party’s nomination.
Many Americans fear that the same DNC elites are about to rig the nominating process again to get a monumentally unpopular vice president to step into President Biden’s shoes.
I call on the Democratic Party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process. Instead of anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites, the party should use neutral polling to identify the candidate who can best beat Donald Trump. The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information.
If they had done this to begin with, I would not have had to leave the Democratic Party.
