Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has changed his strategy and is now asking all of his supporters to vote for President Trump, no matter where they live. This is a big shift from his earlier position, where he only told his backers in swing states to vote for Trump. Kennedy, who was once a presidential candidate himself, dropped out of the race last month and threw his support behind Trump. Since then, he has been trying to get his name removed from ballots in several states.
In a video posted on social media, Kennedy made his message clear: “No matter what state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump,” he said. “That’s the only way that we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington, D.C. and fulfill the mission of my campaign.” By endorsing Trump, Kennedy believes that his ideas and goals for the country can still be brought to Washington, even if he’s no longer running.
Kennedy also voiced his concerns about free speech. He warned that “freedom of speech is under withering and relentless attack in America and across the globe.” However, he pointed out that Americans still have enough free speech left to allow him to share his message in the video. He said it’s crucial that people still have the ability to run political campaigns in opposition to the mainstream.
Bottom line: No matter what state you live in, VOTE TRUMP. A Trump victory is a Kennedy victory. pic.twitter.com/GBn2p2RLnX

Kennedy isn’t the only former Democrat to endorse Trump for the 2024 election. Former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has also thrown her support behind Trump. Both Kennedy and Gabbard have been vocal about their belief that the Democratic Party has moved too far to the left, which is one of the main reasons they now back Trump. With both Kennedy and Gabbard now backing Trump, it’s clear that dissatisfaction with the direction of the Democratic Party is driving some prominent figures to make bold moves.
