The nephew of the great JFK criticized the Democratic Party, saying that it is not even close to the party that was in the days of his father and uncle.
A sensational video is circulating on the X network, in which independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.’s vice presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan says that she and Kennedy are discussing whether to stay in the race or drop out, joining forces with Trump to prevent Kamala Harris from becoming president. If this is true, then Trump’s position is significantly strengthened — 5 to 8% of voters are ready to cast their votes for Kennedy Jr. in key states.
Could this be true? It could. Kennedy Jr. is having big problems registering in a number of states (today he was denied registration in New York for the second time, and he is about to be removed from the ballot in Georgia for allegedly using a fictitious New York address). His electoral base is melting away before our eyes — only 39% of independent voters who were ready to support Kennedy Jr. in July remained loyal to him after Biden dropped out of the race and passed the “torch of leadership” to Kamala Harris.
It is known that Kennedy Jr. tried to meet with Kamala or at least one of her close advisers to bargain for a position in the new administration in exchange for support — but no one wanted to meet or talk to him. After that, the nephew of the great JFK criticized the Democratic Party, saying that it is not even close to the party that was in the days of his father and uncle.
But Trump, with whom Kennedy Jr., according to unconfirmed reports, met in Milwaukee in July, could promise the independent candidate something very tempting. And if the two enfants terribles of American politics managed to come to an agreement, Kamala and her team will regret more than once that they neglected the support of Kennedy Jr.
