Steve Bannon's big gambit now poised to sink Trump's 2024 campaign: analysis

Raw Story  

At the start of the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump ally and convicted criminal Steve Bannon promoted the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom he believed could throw a wrench into President Joe Biden's chances of holding the White House. Now that Biden has dropped out of the race, however, it looks as though RFK Jr. might draw away more voters from former President Donald Trump than Vice President Kamala Harris. As The Atlantic's John Hendrickson writes, recent polls have shown RFK Jr. is actually taking away more voters from Trump than from Harris, whereas earlier in the year polls showed him doing more damage to Biden's candidacy. With more Democratic leaners coming home to Harris, writes Hendrickson, Kennedy's appeal is now more limited to voters with "fringe opinions, conspiracy theorizing, and general anti-establishment politics" -- in other words, many of the same people who might otherwise vote for Trump.
