Join NowWeekly Spoiler Roundup: Third Party Candidates Turn to Desperate Measures
WASHINGTON, D.C. – While Vice President Kamala Harris gains support as the official Democratic nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to beg for jobs from his opponents, a sign he’s definitely in it to win it.
This week, the New York Supreme Court issued a ruling to remove RFK Jr. from the ballot because he defrauded petition signers into believing that he was a New York resident. RFK Jr., along with Dr. Cornel West, face challenges to their petitions in several other states, including Wisconsin, Maine, and Pennsylvania. West is also under fire for working with Republican operatives to get on the ballot in Wisconsin and Maine.
With RFK Jr.’s campaign in freefall and desperately seeking any sense of relevancy, RFK Jr. has begun his contingency planning: finding a new job. This week, public reports revealed that RFK Jr. has sought a meeting with Vice President Harris to discuss a potential job in exchange for dropping out, but her team rebuffed the offer. This development follows numerous stories that RFK Jr. has also had private conversations with Donald Trump and high-level discussions with the Trump campaign about dropping out to curry favor in case Trump wins. Per reports, the Trump campaign is STILL in touch with RFK Jr. and might even offer the antivax conspiracist a job at the Department of Health and Human Services.
In a shocking turn of events, JD Vance actually made a good point, saying RFK Jr. should drop out and endorse Trump. He’s right, RFK Jr. should endorse Trump because they have so much in common: they’re both frauds and conspiracy peddlers who want to ban abortion.
