      The biggest individual contributions to Donald Trump’s and Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s 2024 presidential Super PACs in January both came from the same longtime Republican mega-donor, according to filings.

      On the plus side, the purpose of Republicans and Trump supporters funding RFK Jr was to get a candidate to siphon votes away from Biden. The closer he acts to Trump, the greater chances he end up siphoning away Trump voters.

        I think there was some study saying RFK was syphoning votes away from Trump.

          Pod save America had polling numbers that showed a slight edge to Trump because of RFK votes. That was around a week ago though, things may have changed since.
