2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce he will run as an independent on October 9 in Pennsylvania, Mediaite has learned.

The grift can now continue until Nov 2024.

If he makes the ballot, this is probably pretty bad for Biden, as polls show him losing 10% of primary voters to RFK.

LOL no. If he matters at all, which I doubt, he takes more votes from Trump.

[Minnesota Mike]

Do we have any speculation at all on who RFK would pick as VP?

I only ask because a lot of states, RFK can't collect ballots until he has a running mate. Also, his website is extremely good on the ballot access section.

Probably Tulsi Gabbard, or Jesse Ventura, maybe someone like Dave Smith if he decides to go the libertarian route.

Jesse Ventura is very pro COVID vaccine, he was featured in PSA's here in MN urging people to get the jab, I highly doubt he runs with Jr.

[Minnesota Mike]

I think we can dismiss those RFK Jr. as the Libertarian candidate rumblings.

The Georgia Legislature just passed an elections bill that among other things would make it easier for 3rd parties/independents to make the ballot. I would expect Gov Kemp will sign it. The bill would grant access to Georgia’s ballot to any political party that has qualified for the presidential ballot in at least 20 states or territories. I believe GA was one of the harder states for a presidential candidate to get on the ballot because only the Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians were on the ballot in 2016 & 2020.

Alabama 1963. RFK. George Wallace. Look it up.

The idea Jr is using Wallace's party for ballot access is repulsive.

Gawd I love Libertarians. Not particularly their politics but what an absolute mess it is when they get together and try to do something. Just watching a little of their national convention on youtube and it's such a mess. Trump speaking to this crew is going to be interesting.

I actually watched TFG's speech tonight, first time I have seen more than clips of him speaking since Jan 6, 2021, and he was not happy. Somebody who agreed to this is going to get their @ss chewed.

Seriously recommend you watch like 15-20 minutes of him like once a month. It's good to get an accurate idea of how much his skills have eroded since 2016.

I know but I just can't do it, it just pi$$es me off too much. I only watched tonight because I suspected he would get booed.

[Minnesota Mike]

You have to watch this on C-SPAN. It's completely devolving into chaos and it's Tremendous Content.

There is a youtube feed as well.

I think Oliver will win-not running anyone will kill the Libertarians, and he only needs 3 or 4 votes.

Edit: Some dude lost his tread on me flag.

Who interrupts a convention when the party is in the process of imploding looking for a lost flag?

[Minnesota Mike]

It would be so Libertarian to nominate NOTA and lose ballot access almost everywhere.

What the hell is that racist rant going on in the background?

So now we know what they say when they think nobody is listening.

I couldn't make out what was being said, what was it?

I couldn't make it all out but it had something to do with the genetic differences between Blacks, Jews, and others and how racial stereotypes have a basis in fact.
