Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to pull more support from former President Trump than President Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to a new…
Kennedy founded the Children's Health Defense, a prominent anti-vaccine nonprofit that has campaigned against immunizations and other public health measures like water fluoridation.
After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the group held rallies to protest restrictions aimed at stemming the spread of the virus.
It was at one of those events where Kennedy, appearing alongside vaccine opponents and others in front of the Lincoln Memorial, compared the restrictions to Nazi Germany: "Even in Hitler's Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did."
He’s an anti-vaxxer that believes vaccines cause autism. He promoted the use of ivermectin to cure covid. He thinks Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates are conspiring to push vaccines on people. He blames Prozac for mass shootings. Those are enough for me to go “Nope!”
I really don’t see how the GOP wins the next presidential election. The whole party is in shambles right now and even with Biden not being very popular I don’t see them coming together behind any one candidate. Add to that that Trump might be in prison by then, it seem like a lost cause.
It doesn't have to be not in shambles in order for their voters to continue voting for them. Trump being in prison by then - God willing - may even be considered a feature-not-bug for those zealots. I'm taking nothing for granted.
Biden will win the nationwide popular vote by millions of votes. But that means nothing; he could still easily lose the election. Thanks to the way the Electoral College works, the 2024 election will be decided by a few thousand votes in a small number of states (probably Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia).
Yes, the same electoral college Biden won last time. Trump is not more popular now than he was in 2020. The GOP as a whole is in much worse shape than back then. I just don’t see their path to victory.
