It was less than a year ago, on an unseasonably warm October day, In Philadelphia, when Robert F. Kennedy announced his independent candidacy for President Of the United States. He was at the National Constitution Center for that announcement. This weekend, he all but suspended his quest for the White House and endorsed Donald Trump.

For Kennedy, it like giving a giant middle finger to the democratic party leaders that refused to allow him a spot on any debate .Trump, on the other hand welcomed him. Kennedy met with both Trump and Harris before making his choice.

While he won’t be sitting in the Oval Office, he will most probably get a position in Trump’s cabinet, should he take the election.

Trump released a statement about this, that you can see below.

With the exit of RFK Jr. from the race and his endorsement of President Trump, there will
undoubtedly be a great deal of speculation of what it means and who it will help. I’ve seen the
Harris folks already trying to spin that it won’t impact the race.
Well, the data speaks for itself. The table below is from our most recent round of battleground
state surveys. As you can clearly see, in every single state RFK Jr.’s vote breaks for
President Trump.

Vote
5% 3% 4% 3% 4% 4% 4%
Trump 53% 47% 43% 58% 66% 49% 55%
Harris 28% 34% 41% 22% 16% 35% 25%
Undecided 19% 18% 16% 21% 18% 16% 20%
Net +25% +13% +2% +36% +50% +13% +30%


To put these numbers into perspective, the net vote gained in a state like Arizona based on just
a 2020 turnout model would be over 41,000 votes nearly 4 times Biden’s winning margin or in
Georgia the net gain would be over 19,000 votes nearly twice Biden’s margin.
So, when you hear or see the Harris team and/or the Democrats try and spin otherwise, now
that the data clearly paints a different picture. This is good news for President Trump and his
campaign – plain and simple.
