But not all the husks are empty. Some of them are full of campaign cash and rigging diagrams.
Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. speaks during a campaign event at Independence Mall, Monday, Oct. 9, 2023, in Philadelphia. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced Monday that he was dropping his bid for the Democratic nomination for president and running as an independent.
Back in 2016, the “rigged system” argument for change was made with equal force by Sen. Bernie Sanders and by then-businessman Donald Trump. Supporters packed arenas to hear their speeches, while other candidates struggled to fill five rows of folding chairs. In 2024, will the “rigged system” argument resonate even more?
However, it’s important to remember that the national popular vote is irrelevant. Presidents are elected by electoral votes, which are determined by the election results in each state. How Kennedy’s presence on the ballot changes the vote totals in a few key states could affect the outcome of the election even if he doesn’t win a single electoral vote.
There is at least one super-PAC raising money to support Kennedy’s campaign. American Values 2024 said it had already raised $17 million before Monday’s announcement and then hauled in $11 million more afterwards. But when you have to buy TV commercials in multiple states for months, it goes fast.
