Special Poll
In a recent development, former President Donald Trump expressed enthusiasm about Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s involvement in the race, suggesting it benefits the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement. Trump shared his views on Truth Social, labeling Kennedy as the most extreme left-leaning candidate, accusing him of supporting policies detrimental to the economy, like the “Green New Scam.”
Trump speculated that Kennedy’s campaign might siphon votes from Joe Biden, which he saw as advantageous for the country. He also commented on Kennedy’s vice-presidential pick, Nicole Shanahan, describing her as more liberal than Kennedy and hinting at potential legal challenges they could face, including accusations of environmental fraud.
The announcement of Shanahan as Kennedy’s running mate came at an event in Oakland, California, where Kennedy praised her as a successful immigrant’s daughter and a multi-talented professional. Kennedy’s campaign, despite being considered a long shot, is seen by Trump as a political maneuver that could inadvertently aid his MAGA agenda by dividing the opposition votes.
Current polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ indicate a significant lead for Trump and Biden over Kennedy, with Kennedy trailing by approximately 30 points. Trump leads with 41.5% support, Biden follows closely with 39.1%, and Kennedy holds 9.9%. This polling data underscores the competitive dynamics of the race and the strategic considerations of the involved parties.
