RFK had always endorsed Trump. It’s why he was running. He only quit the race and officially endorsed Trump because he learned that his campaign was hurting Trump more than Harris.
As the Secretary of Health and Human Services under Trump, he can help save America’s children from the deadly scourge of vaccines and the evil medical science that promotes harming children that way. He’ll be able to put a stop to it, perhaps? Maybe Trump can appoint brainless idiots to all his cabinet posts.Some comments about RFK decision:
"Kennedy said that he’s suspending his campaign but remaining on the ballot in several states. He also said he was offered a role in a potential second Trump administration." He's backing Trump, and then trying to split the Democratic vote. If that's the case the Democratic base doesn't need him.
The GOP has been funding him from the start...
His SuperPAC was literally 90 percent funded by donors who also gave huge amounts to Trump this election cycle.
Citizens united needs to be reversed.
So let me get this straight. He was was willing to endorse either candidate, as long as they offered him a position in their administration. How honorable.
Yep
Even his own family has said that his decision today is a betrayal of the values that our father and family hold dear. They said it is a sad ending to a sad story.
They also endorsed Harris/Walz
Let's all remember that earlier this week, he offered to endorse Harris as long as she promised him a Cabinet seat. She said, "No thank you".
Well RFK Jr basically sold his campaign to the highest bidder. I applaud Dems for not playing this game and think this simply shows Republicans lack the moral character to be leaders. It's all transactional with them.
He doesn't care who he endorses as long as he gets a job.
The Kennedy family released a statement disavowing his endorsement of Trump.
Not shocked, just more weirdness. And remember, this guy will get an important job under a Trump admin.
Doesnt matter, all 3097 people who supported him wont make a difference.
So, a rich guy from a billionaire family throwing his support behind another privileged billionaire - hmm, maybe the 30,000 page tax code needs some more loopholes for billionaires, eh? We need reform, and we need to take power back from the ultra rich political donor class so that the people in public office are working for the needs of hard working Americans making the median wage of $22 per hour. I say no to kleptocrats!
Unfortunately, RFKJr was offerings his endorsement to whoever would guarantee him a position in their administration. Dems turned him down and trump is stringing him along with empty promises and will drop him when he is no longer useful like he does everyone else. When your endorsement is sold to the highest bidder, it has no real value.
Too bad we won't know what Trump bribed him with unless Trump wins. Harris, to her credit, refused to pay to play with this peanut. This shows Trump's desperation.
He called Trump “ barely human “ and yet he endorses him. This says a lot about his character and his willingness to put country over self ambition. Good riddance!
To perfectly counteract his effect, I too will immediately suspend my campaign and endorse Harris/Walz, and hope my 2 voters do likewise.
Harris didn't give him a seat at her table so he endorsed Trump. His word and endorsement means nothing. It's empty.
RFK JR approached both candidates willing to sell his endorsement. Only one has low enough morals to take him up on that offer.
I would like for anyone here who would support this California policy to explain their position on it. Not going to argue or shame; I just want to understand their thinking and ideas on this.

That's literally how a democracy should work dumbass. When a popular candidate is forced out like Bernie with no concessions and no compromise and they are made to endorse another candidate, your democracy isn't working. Candidates are supposed to earn your votes they arent supposed to just be given your votes based on cult membership.Some comments about RFK decision:

Thanks for yours and @LogGrad98 responses. I appreciate it.I'm not saying I'm for it, especially since it seems like it could contribute to home prices going up more than they already are.
I didn't read the whole thing but I imagine this is to make undocumented people eligible for a program that already exists.
I'd trend to be against it because it takes a lot of documentation to buy a home with a home loan not to mention a state backed home loan and if you can handle that documentation then maybe you should just go ahead and start with your immigration documentation.
All that said I don't find it outrageous. Immigrants contribute to the economy and if you allow them to buy stable housing all the better for them and all the economic activity homeowners tend to produce. This is a loan not a handout. If these immigrants were little corporations or sports franchises the state would be buying their house for them and giving them a pass on their taxes for the next 10 to 20 years.
Fun fact, immigrants (legal and illegal) don't drive down wages. They expand the economy in the areas where they exist. Large studies in areas heavily impacted by immigration have shown this.

Man he’s a weirdo.Of five false conspiracy theories that Kennedy has promoted all five generated far more agreement among Trump voters than among Harris voters: that COVID-19 vaccines are more harmful than the virus itself (55% vs. 8%); that climate change is being used as a pretext for imposing totalitarian controls on society (68% vs. 7%); that Prozac and other antidepressants have led to a rise in school shootings (35% vs. 12%); that vaccines cause autism (25% vs. 5%); and that chemicals in the water supply could turn children transgender (8% vs. 4%).
So it’s no surprise that when poll respondents are asked how they would vote both with and without Kennedy on the ballot, about 55% of Kennedy’s remaining voters break for Trump, on average, and about 45% break for Harris.
That split means Kennedy's exit probably won’t affect the election in a dramatic way. If Trump were to immediately gain 55% of Kennedy’s remaining voters, explains data journalist Nate Silver, Harris’s average national lead would shrink from 2.5% to 2.1%.
In reality, the effect might be even smaller. Disaffected by definition, Republican-leaning Kennedy voters have had ample opportunity to support Trump in the past; instead of swinging his way, they could back a different third-party candidate, like Libertarian Chase Oliver. Or they could stay home in November.
Still, small margins in key swing states have decided both of Trump’s previous presidential elections. That could happen again — and if it does, Kennedy’s decision this week could make a (minor) difference.
At this point you should have a sign in your signature, “stop feeding the trolls.”*ahem*troll*ahem*
