Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has revealed that his independent presidential campaign is drawing more support away from Donald Trump than from Kamala Harris. In a recent interview with “CBS Mornings,” Kennedy acknowledged that many of his supporters are former Trump voters. He mentioned this to Trump during a conversation they had, in which Trump expressed concern about the situation and suggested they needed to find a solution. However, Kennedy did not disclose whether they discussed him dropping out of the race or potentially joining Trump’s cabinet.
Kennedy’s candidacy seems to be affecting the dynamics of the upcoming presidential election, with Trump reportedly trying to prevent Kennedy from splitting the vote. Despite this, Kennedy remains in the race, potentially positioning himself as a key figure whose endorsement could significantly impact either Trump’s or Harris’s campaign.
The context of their conversation is intriguing, especially given that it took place after an attempted shooting at a Trump rally. Both candidates discussed various issues, with Trump praising Kennedy’s views on vaccines and recounting a call from President Joe Biden after the shooting incident in Pennsylvania. As the election approaches, both Trump and Harris may seek Kennedy’s support, highlighting his influence despite his status as a longshot candidate.
