Trump expects RFK Jr. to flip votes away from the Biden campaign.
Former President Donald Trump said that RFK Jr.’s campaign will ultimately serve to boost the MAGA candidate but slammed the independent presidential candidate’s progressive environmental policies.
“RFK Jr. is the most Radical Left Candidate in the race, by far. He’s a big fan of the Green New Scam, and other economy killing disasters. I guess this would mean he is going to be taking votes from Crooked Joe Biden, which would be a great service to America. His running mate, Nicole Shanahan, is even more ‘Liberal’ than him, if that’s possible,” President Trump said in a March 27 post on Truth Social.
“Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, and always will be!!! It’s great for MAGA, but the Communists will make it very hard for him to get on the Ballot. Expect him, and her, to be indicted any day now, probably for Environmental Fraud! He is Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, not mine. I love that he is running!”
Mr. Kennedy recently announced Silicon Valley lawyer Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. Ms. Shanahan was previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
The Silicon Valley lawyer “shares my indignation about the participation of Big Tech as a partner in the censorship and their surveillance, and the information warfare that our government is currently waging against the American people,” Mr. Kennedy said.
“That’s why I’m bringing on someone with a deep inside knowledge of how big tech uses AI to manipulate the public. I wanted a partner with strong ideas about how to reverse those dire threats to democracy and our freedoms. I managed to find a technologist at the forefront of AI,” he added.
Last year, President Trump praised RFK Jr., calling him “a very smart guy and a good guy” in an interview with The Howie Carr Show. In response, Mr. Kennedy said he was “proud” President Trump liked him.
RFK Jr. has attracted Trump supporters as donors. Timothy Mellon, heir to the Mellon banking fortune who is backing President Trump in the upcoming elections, donated $10 million to a PAC supporting Mr. Kennedy.
According to his campaign website, Mr. Kennedy, formerly an environmental lawyer, intends to focus on the environmental problems facing the United States in his run for president.
