Election 2024

“For the past two decades, Cornel West has traveled the nation’s political back roads, making provocative comments and acting as a surrogate for insurgent Democratic presidential contenders. This time, he’s running himself—in a role that aims to disrupt the nation’s two-party system and could hurt the current Democratic president,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“West said Thursday he would seek the presidency as an independent candidate, choosing to forgo a run with the Green Party. The decision complicates his ability to get on the ballot—if he had won the Green nomination, it would have ensured ballot access in nearly 20 states with the potential for close to all 50 states.”

The RNC on Monday sent out a list of reasons to vote against presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as he prepares to make a “major announcement,” The Messenger reports.

As I outlined on the other RFK Jr. thread -- Republicans would actually vote for RFK Jr. as an independent candidate.

This is why you will see Trump and the GOP come out and attack RFK Jr. over the upcoming weeks. Because RFK Jr. will be taking votes away from Trump and not from Biden in the general election.

RFK will only get votes from people would would never vote for Trump.
No one will vote for RFK instead of Trump, they would vote for RFK instead of Biden

RFK Jr. offers all the anti-vax and conspiracy theory nonsense beloved by the MAGA crowd. When he was running as a Democrat he was funded by MAGA Trump backers with the focus of undermining Biden. Now that he is an independent, RFK Jr. is a threat because he will strip votes from Trump (or the Republican candidate) in a general election rather than Biden. Since the election is likely to be close --- any small amount of votes stripped from either party in a battleground state can have a large impact.
