Summary

I analyze the surprising decision of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to suspend his presidential campaign and endorse Donald Trump, examining the potential ripple effects on the upcoming election. I address several key questions, such as how this decision could influence voter behavior, affect fundraising dynamics, and reshape election strategies for both Trump and Kamala Harris. I delved into my personal experience with RFK Jr., including his appearance on my podcast where he discussed his contentious views on vaccines, which I initially chose not to release due to their controversial nature and my inability to fact-check them at the time.

1:10.0	I wasn't going to release that podcast because it was so much about vaccines and I felt like I wasn't
1:18.0	qualified to fact check what he was saying about vaccines. I feel, I don't want to say I feel strongly about vaccines,
1:25.8	but look, my mother had polio when she was a young girl.
