ÇIt feels like the end for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The independent candidate “will address the nation on Friday to talk about this historic moment and his (political) future,” his campaign said Wednesday. An announcement which came during the day before, his colleague, lawyer Nicole Shanahan, has stated that he is planning to “join forces” with those of Donald Trump in the face of the “danger” of a President Kamala Harris.

RFK Jr. is scheduled to speak from Phoenix, Arizona, at 2 p.m. (11 p.m. in Paris). A choice that does not seem insignificant: Donald Trump will be at the election rally in the same city at 4 p.m. , too. according to NBC News.

READ IT AGAIN In Chicago, Barack and Michelle Obama gave Democrats hope for 2008According to the American press, the candidate is looking to exchange the withdrawal for a position. THE The Washington Post claims that an independent candidate contacted Kamala Harris, who allegedly rejected his advances – which RFK J rejected. In July, his campaign released a video of a phone call made to Donald Trump who had just escaped an assassination attempt. The two men were heard expressing their doubts about the effects of certain vaccines. On Tuesday, Donald Trump sang the praises of RFK Jr, a “nice guy”, saying he was “open” to offering him a position in his administration in the event of a victory against the support.

An uncertain postponement of votes

RFK Jr. first sought the Democratic nomination before declaring himself an independent candidate last fall. A time counted with 20% of the vote by some polls, while the Trump-Biden duel did not please the people, it has fallen down. His campaign is struggling to raise money and he is only registered to vote in about twenty states. This summer, he made the front pages of the tabloids by revealing that a worm had eaten part of his brain and by admitting that he had escaped from the dead body of a bear – hit by a car and eaten – in Central Park.

READ IT AGAIN To counter “kamalamania”, Trump went “super-Trump”Robert Kennedy Jr. today keys in 5% of the electoral votes, according to the average polls established by can site FiveThirtyEight. An important number, when we know that the last two American elections were decided by tens of thousands of votes in half a dozen states.

But there is no guarantee at this stage that your voters will follow the possible call to vote for Donald Trump. By going through new polls, can site RacetotheWH estimated that without the presence of RFK Jr, the Republican would lose to 1 point against Kamala Harris in certain “swing states”, which would be enough to tip Nevada and North Carolina to the Democratic party.
