Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially thrown his support behind President Donald Trump after facing aggressive attacks from the Democratic Party. In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Kennedy revealed how Democratic operatives attempted to dig up dirt on him by reaching out to people from his past. He said the Democrats’ efforts backfired, as his polling data showed he was pulling more votes from Trump than from Harris. Kennedy’s backing of Trump aligns with his stance on free speech, opposition to the Ukraine war, and protecting children’s rights, values he believes the Democrats have abandoned.
Kennedy’s involvement with Trump’s campaign goes beyond endorsement. He confirmed that he is actively working with Trump’s team on policy and transition planning. Despite backlash from his own family, Kennedy remains committed to his decision, arguing that the Democratic Party’s current trajectory alienates its own voters. He believes that if Democrats had allowed him to stay in the race, they would have had a better chance of securing victory in 2024.
According to Kennedy, his split from the Democrats was fueled by their shift away from traditional values. He criticized the party’s increasingly authoritarian stance on speech and pointed out the dangers of escalating involvement in Ukraine. These issues, combined with the Democratic attacks on his character, led him to fully embrace Trump’s platform.
Kennedy described how even people he hadn’t seen in decades were contacted by Democratic operatives in an effort to smear his reputation. He shared one example of a man he met 40 years ago at an AA meeting being approached. Despite these efforts, Kennedy stated that the Democrats only solidified his decision to align with Trump.
Now working directly with Trump’s team, Kennedy is focused on policy initiatives and plans to help shape the next administration. He believes this move is essential to restoring freedoms and protecting American values, marking a significant shift in the 2024 race.
