Robert F Kennedy Jr. ended his long-shot presidential campaign Friday in what has appeared to be a boost to Donald Trump's 2024 hopes
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ended his long-shot presidential campaign Friday in what has appeared to be a boost to Donald Trump's 2024 hopesRobert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he would suspend his campaign Friday, ending what had been a surprisingly strong third-party effort and giving a potential political boost to Donald Trump.
The boost is all the more surprising given the traditional bounce major party nominees receive during their respective nominating conventions. Though Democrats were largely touted for their energetic convention, and Harris applauded for her nominating speech, odds moved in Trump’s favor during the week.
Benefited by his prominent name, millions in funding and public dissatisfaction over the two major party candidates, Kennedy had arguably the strongest third-party campaign since Ross Perot in 1992. He was the only candidate to run an ad in this year’s Super Bowl and held interviews across a wide range of high-profile, politically diverse media entities.
Michelle Obama, who will not win the 2024 presidential election, is listed with +7000 odds to do so at bet365 Ontario, the fifth-best odds of any candidate; Robert Kennedy Jr, who is running, is at +6600But he, like all other third-party candidates, struggled to gain ballot access in multiple states. A series of bizarre anecdotes and media appearances further withered away his chances for the presidency.
