RFK Jr Not a Threat to Donald Trump

Following an elaborate proceeding last week, Robert F. Kennedy ended his political bid to endorse Trump. While many considered this a major positive move, the 6-man Wisconsin Elections Commission thinks differently. By voting 5-to-1, the members of the electoral body chose to keep Robert F. Kennedy on the ballot.

Citing state laws, they noted that once Candidates has filed to contest, their names cannot be removed again. This is a major blow to the Republican Candidate as RFK Jr cannot lend his support to him in the State. Wisconsin was considered a swing state in the 2020 electoral cycle and is equally as important in the coming election.

While the pro-Bitcoin politician has not commented on this latest update, it remains uncertain that he will make a move against Donald Trump leading to the election. An appeal against the decision of the Wisconsin Elections Commission also failed with a 3-3 vote on the matter.

The Kennedy Campaign team has already noted according to Spectrum News 1 that his supporters may continue to back him in states he could not sway. The endorsement of the former President has brought a lot of backlash to him. Despite this, core crypto leaders like Charles Hoskinson switched to backing Trump following the RFK Jr endorsement.

While the drop in the White House bid has automatically excluded RFK Jr, the question for many remains whether his sacrifice will pay off at the end.
