He has been in contact with the Libertarian party to run on the Libertarian ticket. That would be interesting considering Libertarians already are often blamed for "stealing" votes from the Republican candidate. But when Trump did win Libertarians were blamed for stealing Dem votes, so it is always the blame game. If RFK cut out half of all of the policy mandates he wants to implement I would be more supportive of his candidacy.

RFKjr picked ultra liberal Nicole Shanahan as his VP candidate.  This reminds me of John Kerry marrying into the Heinz fortune -- kind of a gigalo move.  RFKjr picked her because her money can finance his campaign.

Anyhow he's cemented his campaign as leftist.  This will lessen the chance that potential Trump voters will see RFKjr as some sort of alternate candidate.  On the other hand, this will bring more leftists disgusted with Biden for whatever reason into the RFKjr fold.   So this is good news for Trump.

Lester makes a good point there. Her selection as VP will be more attractive to Dem voters than Republicans.  He will still pull off some past Trump voters, especially the populists who were very upset by vaccine mandates and Trump’s support of Fauci.

It would truly be a Siren song ending for the LP to select RFKjr. It would probably get them their highest vote total ever, but at the cost of abandoning core principles and becoming a skin suit for future celebrity candidates.
