RFK Jr.’s campaign has dismissed Rita Palm, who said a Trump reelection was all right because her “number one priority” was defeating Biden.

    My ongoing hope is that we’re just not close enough to the election for the general public to know who he is beyond the name recognition…and hoo boy is there some whiplash when you first hear someone with the initials RFK spew that bs…

      He’s been in the press for a while now, I think we may be past that point. As with most 3rd party candidates I doubt he’ll have much of an impact on the polls. Anecdotally, he only seems to pull “moderate” right wingers so if he’s going to have any impact I think it’ll largely be on Republicans

        Yeah I find it funny that the right wing forums are propping him up thinking that would help him pull votes from Biden, not realizing that they are posting it to Republican voters, who if they like rfk would end up taking votes away from trump.

        Well, unfortunately there have been a few examples of 3rd party candidates definitively having an impact on the polls.
