Independent presidential candidate (and confirmed bear carcass hider) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly considering ending his campaign and says he will speak Friday about “his path forward.”
Observers are now predicting RFK Jr. will drop out in order to endorse Donald Trump, a possibility hinted at on Tuesday by Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan.
Only 3% of voters now support Kennedy, according to an Economist/YouGov poll out Tuesday. But if the vaccine skeptic’s backers follow him to Trump, that could give the beleaguered GOP candidate a shot in the arm and help him close the margin of victory.
Earlier, Kennedy had reportedly reached out to both the Trump and Harris campaigns hoping to work out a deal where he would offer his endorsement in exchange for a cabinet position.
The Harris campaign never responded to Kennedy’s outreach, but Trump did, based on a recording of his call with Kennedy leaked last month.
