Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has aligned himself with President Donald Trump, citing the Democratic Party’s failed strategy of attacking him as a catalyst for his decision. Kennedy revealed in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson that the Democrats’ attempts to discredit him through smear tactics not only backfired but also exposed the desperation within the party. Despite internal polling showing that his presence in the race was drawing more votes from Trump, the Democrats targeted him, a move Kennedy calls “not smart.”
Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump is grounded in shared values, particularly regarding free speech, opposition to the Ukraine conflict, and defending children’s rights. He argued that the Democrats have shifted away from these core principles and have instead focused on power consolidation. This shift, combined with the party’s aggressive actions, pushed Kennedy to distance himself and support Trump’s vision for the future.
Kennedy’s role in Trump’s campaign is significant. He confirmed that he’s working on policy matters and has been asked to join the transition team if Trump is reelected. This involvement highlights the depth of their collaboration and Kennedy’s commitment to influencing the direction of the next administration.
During the interview, Kennedy recounted how Democratic operatives contacted people from his past, including someone he hadn’t spoken to in decades. The goal was to gather negative information, but Kennedy said these tactics only solidified his decision to back Trump. He believes the Democrats have lost touch with their base and that their attacks against him were a strategic blunder.
Kennedy is now fully focused on helping Trump win the 2024 election. He sees this as a crucial opportunity to restore fundamental rights and push back against government overreach. His support represents a major shift in the political landscape and signals a deepening divide within the Democratic Party.
