On Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed course and urged all of his followers to cast ballots for former President Donald Trump in their home state, no matter what state that may be.

Previously, Kennedy had only encouraged his followers to back Trump if they were residents of a swing state.
After withdrawing from the race and supporting Trump last month, the former presidential contender is now attempting to have his name removed from the ballot in a number of states.
Meanwhile, RFK Jr.’s efforts to remove his name from Michigan’s November presidential ballot, in order to help former President Donald Trump receive more votes, were unsuccessful, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled on Monday.
He filed a lawsuit against Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on August 30th in an attempt to have his name taken off the ballot and prevent stealing votes from Trump, who won Michigan by roughly 10,000 votes back in 2016.
The ruling on Monday overturns a Friday finding by the Court of Appeals at an intermediate level. It guarantees that, even after dropping out of the race, Kennedy’s name will be on ballots in the crucial swing state.
“No matter what state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump,” Kennedy said in a video posted to social media. “That’s the only way that we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington, D.C. and fulfill the mission of my campaign.”
“Right now, freedom of speech is under withering a relentless attack in America and across the globe, but at least we still have enough of it here that you can watch this video. We can still run an opposition political campaign,” he added.
Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard, former U.S. representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021, are two ex-Democrats who have endorsed Trump for president in 2024.
Both have expressed disapproval of the Democrat Party’s “excessive far-left shift,” maintaining that the modern-day Democrat party is nothing like the party they once knew that was anti-establishment, pro-free speech, and anti-war, referring to Democrats’ newfound support of consistently funding the war in Ukraine.
