Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump: what RFK Jr dropping out could mean for the US election | SpectatorTV

It's widely expected that Robert F. Kennedy Jr will drop out of the presidential race by the end of the week. Who's behind the move, and what might it mean for both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump? Who might he endorse for president? Freddy Gray is joined by Ben Domenech, Editor at Large of The Spectator World, to discuss. They also cover the future of the race, including whether 'Kamalamania' is dead, and the potential TV debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz.

First class choice of interviewee. Wow! Ben is so clued-in to US politics. I salute The Spectator for organising this informative piece and for employing the services of Ben for The Spectator.

People who are "not really cool anymore?" Obamas talking of people who shouldn't take more than they need, despite being multi-millionaires. Disgusting.

[MarcusCorbett]

Why didn't we stick with Joe?
Why did we have Joe at all. He was cognitively impaired from drastic degree from the start.
This conversation is absurd and pretends he was able or indeed did, pull any kind of lever as President.

RFK is very cool if I had’n picked Trump I would have gone with RFK!!
Kamala is a MESS DANGEROUS!!!!

[tedtalksrock]

This is one of the best interviews that I’ve seen on this election. It is completely “gas-free” I’m so tired of the Kamela propaganda coming out of every outlet. It’s impossible to get real analysis.

I was a lifelong dem and all my support is for Bobby. Even before he entered the race I was not going to vote for Biden and never for Kamala. If the DNC hadn't tied up his campaign time and millions of dollars fighting the very undemocratic frivolous lawsuits, left msm censoring him and misrepresenting him he would be higher in the polls.

[CharlesFlato-wnqf]

Senator Kennedy is aware of what the Democratic Party is !!!
Vote for Trump !!!

[bernadettesheehy]

Nicole Shanaghan granted has contributed generously to the campaign BUT She is really really worth listening to, She is calm in her delivery and explains things in a simple straighforward way. She herself and Tulsi Gabbard are diamonds in disguise.

[vxlxhyv]

It's unbelievable that the likes of Alicia Silverstone & Jim Carrey who took the piss out of Trump & have endorsed RFK
Could actually end up supporting Trump if they follow his lead

[fractal]

Let him do clean water? How condescending. Attorney General is the right role.

[nevaehverite]

If RFK‘s name is not on the ballot, I will simply write it in. He is the only candidate running who is speaking to the issues that’s affecting Americans. My vote won’t go to Trump nor Harris if RFK drops out. Moreover for the record I’m an African-American female and I don’t know anybody who likes Trump or Harris.

[JoseAntonioPlus]

Trump and RFK are the way. I hope they get together. The communist party must not win, at any cost

[irisElee]

26:55 I’ve lived in MN for 25 years. He is NOT popular. The only reason he’s a governor is because of the state Pravda - Minneapolis Star Tribune.

[MainebobOConnor]

I expect, tomorrow, Friday, Trump will Endorse RFK Jr🎉 and RFK Jr will pardon Trump.🎉

[AnneOfNYS]

It has often been said that Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. Is the best President we never had.
Now this likewise be said about his son, In this era, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the best President we never had. But he has a future. Perhaps the future will provide a better President. And a better future.

[caliconservative]

Even RFK Jr. would rather team w/Trump than see commila win.

[bernadettesheehy]

Great to hear a ( non - propagandised) honest, accurate, intelligent analysis of RFK Jr & Nicole Shanaghan. RFK Jr.would be great on any front but particularly Health or Environment. - Bernadette (Ireland).

[patrickmccutcheon]

Makes sense he drops out as his candidacy could not succeed.

[Shewib]

RFK for VP. A Trump-Kennedy ticket would be unbeatable.

[kingshousetube]

I wonder what her world will be like now Tulsi has been recruited to help the Trump Campaign. Should be interesting methinks.
