“Hijacked”

The biggest individual contributions to Donald Trump's and Robert F. Kennedy Jr's 2024 presidential Super PACs in January both came from the same longtime Republican mega-donor, according to filings.

On the plus side, the purpose of Republicans and Trump supporters funding RFK Jr was to get a candidate to siphon votes away from Biden. The closer he acts to Trump, the greater chances he end up siphoning away Trump voters.

That explains why my parents have been liking him lately.

I think there was some study saying RFK was syphoning votes away from Trump.

Pod save America had polling numbers that showed a slight edge to Trump because of RFK votes. That was around a week ago though, things may have changed since.
