Kennedy puts fresh spin on Harris-Trump showdown in battleground states

[HARK!]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., suspending his presidential campaign and throwing his support behind the Republican nominee, struck at the heart of Vice President Kamala Harris’ claim that she would protect democracy and freedom.

He also sent Democrats scurrying to dismiss the potential impact of his exit on battleground contests, where a shift of just 1 or 2 percentage points could decide who moves into the White House next year.

In announcing his decision Friday, Mr. Kennedy said the Democratic Party is “the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag and Big Money.”

He said Democrats’ efforts to keep him off the ballot and hamstring his campaign with lawsuits was “undemocratic” — as was the move by party insiders to make Ms. Harris the presidential nominee without a single primary vote.

From here: Will RFK Jr. help Trump by dropping out and endorsing him? Here's what the polls say.

'...about 55% of Kennedy’s remaining voters break for Trump, on average, and about 45% break for Harris.

That split means Kennedy's exit probably won’t affect the election in a dramatic way. If Trump were to immediately gain 55% of Kennedy’s remaining voters, explains data journalist Nate Silver, Harris’s average national lead would shrink from 2.5% to 2.1%.'

Her national lead doesn't mean much, it's electoral points that win the election

If you stop waiting, and read on; it will help you to understand the context.

If the popular vote picked our candidates; Harris wouldn't be on the ballot.

Mr. Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020 by about 1.2% of the vote, and Mr. Trump won it in 2016 by less than 1% of the vote. This year, polls show Mr. Kennedy with 3% or 4% of the vote and Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump virtually tied.

Take it up with the OP.

She could win the popular vote and still lose the election, if you want to post irrelevant information be my guest

If someone posts that a third party endorsing Trump will affect the polls then it's not irrelevant and entirely valid to investigate by how much. Get off the high horse.
