Vivek Ramaswamy, a conservative entrepreneur, expressed that a potential independent run for the presidency by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could actually benefit former President Trump.
Ramaswamy made this statement on Wednesday on Fox News's “Hannity”
noting that Kennedy’s political stance is more in line with the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party. He suggested that Kennedy's campaign could draw votes away from President Biden, should he get on the ballot in multiple states.
Ramaswamy told host Sean Hannity that he sees this as a positive development for the country and for President Trump, as the country needs a clear moral endorsement in November, comparable to the elections of Reagan in 1980 and 1984.
He further added that should RFK Jr.'s participation help in achieving this, it could be a positive factor for the country, despite any attempts by Democrats to impede his candidacy. Ramaswamy’s comments align with Trump, who described Kennedy as “great for MAGA” after the independent candidate announced Nicole Shanahan as his running mate on Tuesday. Ramaswamy endorsed Trump for the White House as he concluded his own campaign earlier this year. Democrats have escalated their criticism of Kennedy in recent days, and some commentators believe his campaign could cause issues. A recent poll by Quinnipiac University revealed that while Biden is slightly ahead of Trump in a direct match-up, he falls slightly behind when a third-party candidate is considered. In a three-way race among Biden, Trump and Kennedy, Trump has a 2.2-point advantage over Biden, according to the national polling average from
