Robert F. Kennedy Jr. becomes a frequent campaigner for Donald Trump
Donald Trump is leaning on a pair of former Democrats whose idiosyncratic views left them ostracized from their party to help him connect with voters who feel disillusioned with politics and distrustful of politicians
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Three weeks after dropping his independent presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become a ubiquitous campaigner for Donald Trump, urging his own loyal followers to cast their lot with the former president who said he'd give Kennedy a job if he returns to the White House.
Kennedy is hitting the road with Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman who's built her own following on the right.
Many of the people who turned out to see them in suburban Phoenix on Saturday night were already committed Trump supporters. A few, like Jacob Cutler, wore clothing from Kennedy's defunct campaign. An enthusiastic Kennedy supporter, Cutler has embraced Trump as the best person to stop Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate.
“I was concerned about what would happen if she won, and so that’s why I felt like I needed to support Donald Trump and help him win,” said Cutler, a 40-year-old who said he voted for Democratic President Joe Biden four years ago. “If anything, the lesser of two evils.”
