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.
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.
