‘Forced To Make A Choice’: RFK Dropped Out, Here’s Why His Voters Might Go For Trump

In the aftermath of Robert F. Kennedy’s withdrawal and subsequent endorsement of former President Donald Trump on Friday, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the Republican nominee will likely gain a boost from the independent’s remaining supporters.

After President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July, a significant share of Kennedy’s support gravitated towards his replacement, Vice President Kamala Harris. But now that Kennedy has dropped out of the race altogether, experts told the DCNF that his remaining share of supporters disaffected by the Democratic Party are likely to go toward the Republican nominee.

I think what’s left within the RFK constituency is the people who would be more inclined to support former President Trump, in spite of some, perhaps, misgivings about his executive temperament and past behaviors,” Len Foxwell, a Democratic strategist based in Maryland, told the DCNF. “My guess is that those people now, if forced to make a choice, will go and support the former president.”
