Donald Trump still has a surprise or two up his sleeve.
Polls show key swing states shifting back Donald Trump’s way, but there may be even more bad news on the way for Kamala.
And Donald Trump will say checkmate to Kamala Harris after this power move.
RFK considering dropping out of the race and endorsing Donald Trump
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate Nicole Shanahan’s appearance on the Impact Theory podcast landed like a thunderbolt.
That’s because Shanahan said the campaign knows if Kennedy stays in the race it will hand the election to Kamala as Kennedy pulls more votes from Trump as Kennedy’s opposition to the war in Ukraine and vaccine mandates is more appealing to the anti-establishment voters who would otherwise pick Trump.
Shanahan said the campaign was discussing Kennedy dropping out of the race and “joining forces with Trump.”
Trump reacted to the news in an interview with CNN.
And Trump spoke very positively about Kennedy in a hint that there were backchannel discussions on going to secure a Kennedy endorsement for Trump.
“I like him, and I respect him,” Trump told CNN.
Trump praised Kennedy and played coy about Kennedy getting out of the race.
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump added. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”
Trump said he would consider appointing Kennedy to a position in his administration if Kennedy dropped out and endorsed him.
“I like him a lot. I respect him a lot,” Trump stated. “I probably would, if something like that would happen. He’s a very different kind of a guy — a very smart guy. And, yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement, certainly.”
Kennedy doesn’t deny Trump endorsement
When stories surfaced about Kennedy offering his endorsement to Kamala Harris in exchange for an administration job, Kennedy reacted angrily by blasting Kamala on social media as a pro-lockdown, pro-vaccine mandate, pro-censorship authoritarian.
By contrast, after Shanahan’s comments about possibly endorsing Trump hit, Kennedy expressed openness to talking to any political leader about his causes of draining the Swamp, promoting medical freedom and opposing endless wars.
“As always, I am willing to talk with leaders of any political party to further the goals I have served for 40 years in my career and in this campaign. These are: reversing the chronic disease epidemic, ending the war machine, cleaning corporate influence out of government and toxic pollution out of the environment, protecting freedom of speech, and ending politicization of enforcement agencies,” Kennedy posted on X.

Donald Trump recently appeared at an event organized by a pro-medical freedom group.
In a podcast interview with popular comedian Theo Von, Trump condemned the influence of Big Pharma lobbyists on Washington.
The pieces began to fit together.
And it appears before early voting begins in September, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could drop out of the race and throw his support to Donald Trump.
