Will RFKjr endorse Trump -- it might happen

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate Nicole Shanahan says the Kennedy campaign is considering dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump.

The comments came during a podcast appearance on Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory.

Shanahan said there are currently two options:

1. "Staying in and forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump..."

2. "Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump."

Their target would be getting 5% of the vote in order to earn third part status for 2028. If it doesn't look like they'll get close to 5% then they might just pull the plug.

He was never a serious candidate...Good riddance. Guy got "bitch slapped" by Harris and now this ball less asshole is going to support trump...they both deserve each other. Let trump have his measly 4-5 percent.
Its the Haley voter that will hurt trump. If Harris can get 30 maybe 40 percent of that vote...wow.

Wishful thinking by the MAGAts.

Just off the top of my head, look what happened when Joe Rogan liked RFK.jr. Which base lost its shit,... it was trumps base. Then Dana White probably told Rogan to STFU and back peddle that. Which he did..
But my feeling is that if RFK supports trump, most of RFK meathead supporters probably won't vote. They'll become disillusion by the process and say fuck it, RFK sold out

Kennedy was polling around 9%, now he's at 5%, so I think the ones that would go over to Kamala have already done so.  It's a reasonable calculation to see the remainder going to Trump, which would be curtains for Kamala.

“They (Democrats) kept us off stages, manipulated polls, sued us in every possible state, and even planted insiders in our campaign.” -- Shanahan
.
And all the time shouting "muh democracy!"

Also buyer's remorse at having given $15 million to RFK's campaign.

She doesn’t regret supporting Kennedy. She regrets having ever supported Democrats.

This is a rumor only. No deep sources named.

RFKjr has confirmed he will make a path forward announcement on Friday from Phoenix AZ at 2pm ET.
.
Shanahan has already twice specified the two options. Stay in or endorse Trump.
.
One important factor besides his poll collapse is lack of funds. I don't think Shanahan wants to throw her fortune away on a lost cause.

a lot of money.   She probably told Kennedy she was closing her purse, and since he couldn't make deal with Trump giving an endorsement for a job, he's left with supporting Trump anyway.  If Trump win's narrowly, he can make a case after the fact that it was him who gave Trump the victory and then hope for some table scraps, maybe Ambassador to Ukraine, or something similar.  Lol  

 
Meanwhile, Shanahan is hoping she can stand on the stage with Trump when he wins on election night.  She doesn't really want a job, just 15 minutes of fame.

She did speak to not wanting to waste millions merely to be a spoiler.  And she reiterated that she now regrets helping democrat candidates in the past.  She is completely put off by their anti-democratic lawfare against other candidates.  Like changing the Party rules to prevent RFKjr.  She said that it was ONLY the Democrat party doing these kind of things.  Which is why she sees the only real path in teaming up with Republicans.

Rumor is that RFKjr is still undecided whether to just drop out, or drop out and endorse Trump. Shanahan reportedly wants to endorse Trump, but RFKjr's wife doesn't want him to endorse Trump.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Shanahan for one is extremely pissed at the DNC’s dirty tactics aimed at the Kennedy campaign.

RFKjr ought to be pissed too.  He has a shot at a cabinet position. But maybe he is pussy whipped. Time will tell.

Supposedly the talks with RFKjr include Trump, his son Don Jr, and Tucker Carlson.

Map Shows States Where RFK Jr is On the Ballot. [Aug 13, 2024]
.
"... While Kennedy's campaign website says that he has access to the combined 503 electoral votes of 45 states, the election data-tracking website suggests he has not been confirmed to be on the ballot for every state he's finished petitioning in. Instead, 30 states that have received his petitions have not yet placed him on the ballot, meaning ****he could miss access in key swing states, such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.**** He most recently qualified to be on the ballot in Texas and his website says petitioning is still in progress in Arizona, Kentucky, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. ..."
.
Because RFK is not on the ballot in several swing states he will not be changing the Harris - Trump split in those states. Unless voters in Wisconsin were planning to write-in RFK in lieu of voting for Trump. They can STILL write in RFK ... or Mickey Mouse or even Minnie Mouse.  He is on the ballot and could have been a factor in NV, MN (really?), MI, NC, and FL.  
.
RFK is NOT on the ballot in PA, OH, WI, or GA. (I'm flipping back and forth between maps and lists. Some maps aren't dated - Biden or Harris? Feel free to correct my lists.) (Is TX now a battleground state? RFK is on the ballot in TX and could be a factor there.)  
.
Gave up looking for a current electoral / battleground states map. Here's a blank map to fill in.

According to pollster Richard Baris, if RFKjr drops out without endorsing, 40% goes to Trump, 25% goes to Harris and the rest to other or not voting.  If RFKjr endorses Trump, Trump gets 60%.  Baris didn't break down what percentage goes to Harris in that case.
