Looks Like Trump Has Plans To Flip The Script On Kamala’s Big Week
With the countdown to Nov. 5 quickly approaching, both candidates are vying to stay on top of the narrative race.
That’s hard to do for President Donald Trump this week while Vice President Kamala Harris enjoys wall-to-wall coverage from sympathetic media at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. Still, Trump reportedly has a plan to end the week with the focus on him, and if it’s true, it’s brilliant.
Reports circulated on Wednesday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had decided to withdraw from the presidential race and endorse Trump. Shortly after the rumors spread, Kennedy released a statement on his presidential website announcing that he would address the nation in a live-streamed press conference on Friday to discuss “the present historical moment and his path forward.”
🚨BREAKING: RFK Jr. will be addressing the nation on his “path forward” from Phoenix, Arizona on Friday at 11am PT.
Turning Point PAC + Turning Point Action will be hosting Trump on Friday, also in Phoenix.
Doors open at 11am

Trump and Kennedy will both be in Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday. Nothing would erase the last five days of DNC speeches and momentum more from Americans’ minds than the optics of having a former Democratic presidential candidate currently running the most prominent third-party candidacy in history drop out to endorse a Republican.

• Is he joining you tomorrow at your rally in AZ?
—— he didn’t answer. 😊We may see a surprise visit from him tomorrow.
• I’ve known him a long time. He’s a little different kind of a guy. Very smart guy. A very good person. If he endorsed me I would be… pic.twitter.com/PuHaOtHysK

Kennedy has a unique perspective on Democrats, being one his entire life. He initially ran as a primary opponent against President Joe Biden. Still, members from his own party worked against him (Biden even went as far as denying him a Secret Service protection detail) to prevent him from being successful.
When Kennedy dropped out of the primary race to run for president as an independent, his polling showed he took votes almost equally from Democrats and Republicans. But now, with Biden out and Harris the Democratic nominee, he was siphoning more support from Trump than Harris. Having Kennedy drop out and endorse him would help Trump with the polling and controlling the narrative.
Deseret News/HarrisX overnight poll h/t @PpollingNumbers from August 3 is probably most instructive in showing what the impact of RFK dropping out would be.
Trump 47 Harris 45, Trump 51/Harris 49 forced lean.
BUT Harris 46 Trump 44 RFK 9 with RFK only, with leaners.

If Kennedy stands on stage with Trump in Arizona on Friday and tells Americans that they should be voting for the man the establishment hates, the one they all claim will end our democracy, it will be a moment too big for even the Harris sycophants in regime media to ignore. They’ll have to cover it. No one will be talking about the DNC. The nation will be focused on Trump and Kennedy. Harris will be an afterthought on the biggest week of her political career.
Every time Trump seems to be knocked down to the point of failure, he stands right back up, yelling, “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”
