Former Obama henchman David Axelrod tried to suggest Kennedy has let his father down.
Robert F. Kennedy was my political hero. He battled fiercely & eloquently against poverty, injustice and for economic fairness.
Sadly RFK Jr, who made a rambling exit from the race today, proves that sometimes an apple DOES fall far from the tree…in this case, down a hill and…— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) August 23, 2024

Kennedy’s former running mate Nicole Shanahan revealed on Friday that “terrified” Democrats had been flooding her with frantic text messages urging them not to go through with the endorsement.
Behind their fiery rhetoric, Democrats are indeed deeply concerned. Polling data is already suggesting that Kennedy’s endorsement may even prove pivotal in November.
Whichever way one spins it, this was a good day for the Trump campaign.
