Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially aligned himself with President Donald Trump, pointing to the Democratic Party’s “mafia tactics” as a driving factor behind his decision.
In a revealing interview with Tucker Carlson, Kennedy shared how Democrats attempted to undermine him by contacting people from his past to gather dirt. Despite their efforts, Kennedy believes the strategy was counterproductive. Polls showed his presence in the race hurt Trump more than Harris, but the attacks only pushed him further toward supporting Trump’s vision.
Kennedy’s backing of Trump goes beyond simple endorsement. He has taken on an active role in shaping policy and assisting with transition plans if Trump secures reelection. The former candidate emphasized that the Democrats’ aggressive actions drove him away from the party. According to Kennedy, their focus on power and control, particularly regarding free speech, the Ukraine conflict, and children’s rights, has left many voters feeling abandoned.
In the interview, Kennedy detailed how Democratic operatives even contacted an acquaintance he met 40 years ago at an AA meeting. Such tactics, Kennedy argues, reflect a broader pattern of desperation within the party. He stated that if Democrats had allowed him to continue his campaign without interference, they would have stood a better chance in 2024.
Kennedy is now fully committed to helping Trump win. He believes that their collaboration will help protect American freedoms and push back against the overreach of government control. His involvement adds significant weight to Trump’s campaign, particularly among disillusioned voters seeking an alternative to the current Democratic platform.
