In a striking reversal, the Democrat Party is now fighting to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot after previously attempting to block his candidacy. This sudden shift follows Kennedy’s decision to suspend his campaign and endorse President Donald Trump, which threatens to unify conservative voters and hurt Vice President Kamala Harris’ prospects.
The North Carolina Board of Elections recently appealed a court ruling that removed Kennedy’s name from the ballot. The state’s Court of Appeals had ordered his removal, but Democrats are now pushing to keep him on, even as new ballots are being printed without his name.
Kennedy initially planned to withdraw from swing states like Arizona and Pennsylvania, avoiding any risk of splitting the vote in a way that could harm Trump. However, he now encourages voters in all states to back Trump, presenting a challenge for Democrats, who once saw him as a threat.
In a recent interview, Kennedy highlighted the irony of the situation: “The Democrat Party, which was suing us to keep us off the ballot… is now suing us to force us to be on the ballot.” This reversal shows Democrats are more focused on undermining Trump by keeping Kennedy on the ballot than providing voters with an honest choice.
Democrats’ efforts to keep Kennedy on the ballot in battleground states reveal a clear attempt to split conservative votes and secure a Harris victory — a strategy that exposes their willingness to manipulate the system for political gain.
