RFK Jr. campaign looks at 2 options: Drop out or 'join forces with ...

Ray Bogan

INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE RFK JR IS STRUGGLING.

BOTH IN THE POLLS – AND FINANCIALLY. 

ACCORDING TO FINANCIAL REPORTS, THE KENNEDY CAMPAIGN SPENT $7 MILLION IN JULY BUT ONLY RAISED $5.6 MILLION. 

NOW HE’S LEFT WITH JUST $3-POINT-9-MILLION IN THE BANK – AND HAS NEARLY 3-POINT-5-MILLION IN DEBT. 

VO:

THEN THERE’S THE ISSUE OF HIS POLLING. 

LAST FALL, KENNEDY HAD MORE THAN 15% SUPPORT NATIONALLY, NOW THE REAL CLEAR POLITICS AVERAGE PUTS HIM AT JUST 4.5%. 

HE’S STILL FIGHTING TO APPEAR ON SEVERAL BALLOTS.

IN NEW YORK, HE’S APPEALING A JUDGE’S RULING THAT KICKED HIM OFF THE BALLOT BECAUSE OF WHAT THE COURT CALLED “A SHAM,” RESIDENCY CLAIM.

HE’S ALSO FACING SIMILAR CHALLENGES IN GEORGIA. CRITICS ACCUSE RFK JR OF TRYING TO USE FAKE ADDRESSES TO SECURE HIS PLACE ON THE BALLOT. 

AND IT SEEMS HIS INNER CIRCLE IS PREPARING FOR THE END OF THE RACE. 

IN A RECENT PODCAST INTERVIEW, HIS RUNNING MATE, NICOLE SHANAHAN, SAYS THE CAMPAIGN IS LOOKING AT TWO OPTIONS: 

Nicole Shanahan

“ONE…. OR JOIN FORCES WITH TRUMP”

KENNEDY HAS NOT MADE A PUBLIC CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE SINCE EARLY JULY. AND IN RECENT WEEKS, IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT HE HAS SOUGHT POSITIONS IN POTENTIAL ADMINISTRATIONS.
