Rogan Democrats: How RFK Jr. could still swing presidential election

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blew a chance to be the most successful third-party presidential candidate since Ross Perot but could still be consequential if he swings the battleground states and therefore the election to his preferred candidate.

Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign on Friday and endorsed former President Donald Trump. As with everything involving Kennedy, he made it more complicated than that — he played up that he was “suspending,” not “ending” his long-shot independent bid and urged people to still vote for him in safe red and blue states.

But Kennedy is urging his supporters in the states that will likely decide the Electoral College majority to vote for Trump and is taking his name off the ballot in the battleground states where it is still possible to do so. His endorsement could help Trump consolidate anti-establishment voters turned off by both major parties.

Both the timing of Kennedy’s announcement, the day after Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention, and his messaging were meant to blunt the Democrats’ recent momentum.

 When he was running he was polling 5.8% in AZ, 5.9% in MI, 4.4% in PENN, 5% in WIS, 5.3% NV, 4.3 NC, 4% Georgia,  if just 2/3rds of his supporters peel off with him and vote for Trump in these battleground states, Trump wins.

Rogan, almost accidentally has become one of the most influential people in the media today.  He's a left leaning Libertarian, and has actually skewered the Biden/Harris camp more than Trump.

I know he previously supported RFK, Jr.  Commented on how bad ass Trump was after J13, so if  Rogan even slightly tilted the scale away from Harris, this could do them some damages.....

Rogan's reach?  Mind blowing (cut/pasted from the Wired Clip web site)
