Alaska voters may be ranking Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for president in November, and they may even rank Cornel West, the socialist, or Oliver Chase, the Libertarian, but they won’t be ranking Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who at this moment is still on the Alaska general election ballot.
That’s because the Democrat-turned-Independent said he is suspending his race for president. He is expected made the formal announcement in Arizona today, and his team told reporters in advance he would endorse Trump.
RFK Jr. had been working to get onto a few remaining state ballots but was being blocked by the Democratic Party in Democrat-run states.
“Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party of labor of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money, interests, and corporate power. True to its name. It was the party of democracy,” he said, slamming the Democratic Party for its new authoritarian qualities.
Kennedy, 70, had recently had talks with Trump team allies. The liberal environmental lawyer had been snubbed by his own Democratic Party, which was hellbent on reelecting Joe Biden, until the party pivoted and threw Biden to the wolves in favor of Kamala Harris.
Kennedy has been in talks with Trump allies for the past few weeks.
This story will be updated shortly.
Secretary of Ag! Ultraprocessed and GMO are poison.
It won’t help much as the conservative non voters need to get into the game before the country falls off the cliff.
With the low voting percentages the demo few control the country many.
I sorta thought that would happen. He was treated nearly as badly by the DNC as Biden was.
Difference is, Biden sorta deserved it.
I wonder what government job he was promised if Trump wins?
Dept of Goofballs and Calisthenics.
A dyed-in-the-wool Democrat supporting a conservative Republican to beat Kamala Harris. Loving it!!
So, why doesn’t Nancy Dahlstrom support her own party colleague, Nick Begich? She can’t be that selfish(?).
This is truly one of the top three most remarkable developments of this election year, the others being the doomed Biden’s debate debacle and the other being the quick coronation of kooky Kamala. It’s never easy to be optimistic about national (and Anchorage) politics, but one ought to enjoy such moments as this.
Cookies, please.
NO!!! RFK said he dropped the Arizona race. He explained his reasoning and will stay in the rest of the state races for a better view of the results. When its all said and done, he will make a decision to review the results on data, determine his position with percentages and electoral results before making the decision to endorse Trump or be elected by electoral votes as president of the USA. He was carefully, honest in his choice of words, and statements of national and international interest and what he put in words as illegal and legal support for national and international problems created by the Biden administration. That was his position. go listen to his speech.
How is it that nobody else in the world understands it this way but you? Unique view.
How interesting if he did remove his name from the ballot in Arizona. I thought that he was going to keep his name on the ballot in the swing states to pull votes away from Commie Kamala? I heard this on x22 today.
An excellent day for a change. Go Nick. And go trump and Rfk.
So good to see. Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians think alike on many fronts. Democrats are a tight, cohesive bunch and will never abandon their masters. All RFK would do is split the votes in the Democrats favor, like RCV.
OK. Begich vs Peltola
Harris & Trump in a dead heat.
Six weeks to go …. I like it.
This is politics – now lets dump RCV please
See ya’ll on Nov 5th ….. should be a good one. (& God bless Nick & Don)
RFK2. Starting to look better all the time. Thanks, Bobby.
Kennedy is just as phony as Vance. Here’s what he said about Trump a few months ago. Trump is a “terrible human being” and said the former president was “probably a sociopath”
How can anyone accept what Vance and Trump are offering? Especially under the lovely light from Harris.
Chose joy over hate. Vote blue.
Mark and Jeff,
Thanks for the hearty laugh! Yes we are choosing Joy, Joy unspeakable and full of gladness as the Bible says.
Those feckless DNC talking points espoused above don’t work on crowds with a combined IQ of over 61. I suggest you up your game a teensy bit.
BTW, I recall Kamala calling your most corrupt China Joe Biden a RACIST just 4 short years ago.
C’mon Mark and Jeff. We can form a big happy quad with you boys. We know that you are looking for some strange over here at MRAK.
Cut the political crap. Let’s do this.
B J, way to cut to the chase!
OK, let’s apply the same standard to your party. It is only fair.
Remember when Harris called Biden a racist? Then suddenly loved him as soon as she was name the VP nominee? Remember when Obama said “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to F things up.” Now, Obama loves Joe.
I also remember when Biden said he would be President for all Americans, then he gave a speech where the demonized anyone who supported MAGA in any way.
.
It is politics. People say things they do not really mean all the time. Adults understand that. Children post message on websites claiming those past utterances mean anything today.
RFK is a cradle to grave democrat from a blue blood democrat family in solid blue New England. But his democrat party is now a party of chaos that advocates for numerous mind numbing stupid causes. So RFK left his party that rejected him and is working to give power back to the people. It so happens that President Trump is also working to restore true representative government and power to the people. RFK is one of the true experts about the corrupt pharmaceutical and health care institutions. Both RFK & Trump know that huge amount of work will be needed to fix this corruption and all the rest in other parts of the country. So, showing courage and knowing this is the best way to restore power to the people, RFK has joined forces with Trump. He knows this is the best way to MAGA. So, thank you RFK! You will be a very important part of restoring sanity to the government of the country we love in the second Trump administration.
RFK, like most old school Democrats, is horrified that the current party no longer resembles the party of his uncle and father’s. Dems today are pro-war, anti-worker, anti-family, pro-Wall Street and pro-corporate fascists! Their hidden agenda today is all about corruption, money and holding onto power at all costs. They must be defeated or our country, as we once knew it, will cease to exist.
RFK Jr. is the only clear thinking Kennedy from the entire living clan. The rest are a bunch of left wing loonies.
These Democrats are not Democrats they are Marxists. They are baby killing war mongers. Mark and Jeff your touchy-feely B.S is just that B.S you should pull your head out of your A— and have a look around occasionally.
I listened to his speech announcing this decision and noted his often mentioned concern for the nations children. However the truth is that he has long favored full term abortion during all nine months!! Talk about a departure from old time democratic principles!!
That’s all todays Republican party needs – one more weirdo!
If he helps Trump win, we’ll make room for a Kennedy. He’s the only smart one of the entire bunch of rich, wacko Democrats.
Pound sand Sebastian
Go watch RFK Fox News interview. He has some very valid points. If this is what it takes to win I’m all in. People change. RFK doesn’t seem to be an arrogant sort. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt. God saved trump from certain death and now RFK has stopped running for president and turned his back on the party he was raised with. Something good is happening here. His family is giving him fits over this and all he did was calmly turn to them and say I disagree with you and I love all of you. That is hard to do. Enough talk let’s go win the White House back and fix this mess.
“I love politics. It is a perfect tool for creating division in human societies.
The more divided and weak the populace, the easier it is for me to move in and take over. The darkness of hate that fills the hearts of man become my home. The weakness of humanity becomes my home. As society burns down, I am the phoenix that rises up from their pathetic ashes. Keep going humanity, you are doing great!”
