JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, told NBC News in an interview that “there’s been a lot of communication back and forth” between the two campaigns.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intends to end his independent presidential campaign and endorse former President Donald Trump, according to two sources familiar with the plans.

He also pretended to be anti-war while fully supporting Israel.
Genocide is a deal-breaker for some.
Unfortunately there’s only 2 viable candidates. Choose wisely.
Correct. Claudia de la Cruz and Jill Stein
When are you going to get it through your head that literally every non-joke candidate is the same on that issue (at least by your black-and-white absolutist standards) and it is therefore not relevant as a differentiator?
Nobody gives a shit what you think about this.
Hopefully I dont accidentally have to hear him talk anymore. Fuck, he sounds like absolute shit and he deserves zero air time other than on right-wing outlets.
He supports the genocide, same as the duopoly, so deal breaker as well.
Fuck, he sounds like absolute shit
Here ya go:
Anyone following the US presidential race may have noticed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a particularly harsh-sounding voice. The cause is a neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia.
Spasmodic dysphonia, also known as laryngeal dysphonia, often results in a shaky, tight or strained-sounding voice. It does not affect other functions of the vocal cords, such as laughing, crying or shouting.
It affects about one in every 50,000 people – with women being more prone to it than men. It usually develops between the ages of 30 and 50.
The causes aren’t clear, but one study found that 65% of people with the condition previously had measles or mumps – compared with the US national average of 15%.[1]
The independent presidential candidate recounts those times somewhat wistfully, telling interviewers that he “can’t stand” the sound of his voice today — sometimes choked, halting and slightly tremulous.
The cause of RFK Jr.’s vocal distress? Spasmodic dysphonia, a rare neurological condition, in which an abnormality in the brain’s neural network results in involuntary spasms of the muscles that open or close the vocal cords.
“I feel sorry for the people who have to listen to me,” Kennedy said in a phone interview with The Times, his voice as strained as it sounds in his public appearances. “My voice doesn’t really get tired. It just sounds terrible. But the injury is neurological, so actually the more I use the voice the stronger it tends to get.”[2]
Do you think he was unvaccinated for measles/mumps and this is somehow like a consequence of that?
That initial thought came to mind when I learned about the information below, but I am not sure:

Not sure if…
Trump Secures Crucial Brain Eaten By Worm Demographic
…or…
Breaking: Having Brain Eaten By Worm May Lead To Trump Endorsement
…is the more appropriate headline.
It will be interesting to see where his supporters go next… If they all go to Trump that could be bad.

she’s beating trump by a spread that’s smaller than the margin of error and rfk’s poll numbers are several fold larger than those margins.
we already know that that’s enough to guarantee that trump will win 3 out of the 7 battleground states; add to that michigan’s uncommitted voters and that makes 4 out of the 7 battle ground states that kamala is going to lose.
From watching and reading independent journalists, owner-class media, and more, it seems, IIRC, a good amount of his supporters are for Trump.
It would help third parties if they left the duopoly, though.

a good amount of his supporters are for Trump.
Which could be a problem. This race is too close and any more support for Trump is dangerous.
Bye
What was the difference between Trump and RFK Jr to begin with?
Policy, many videos where Robert talks about details.
In the end the duopoly and RFK Jr. support funding more forever wars and genocides.
