According to the "Capitol Hill" report on the 5th, on Monday local time, in a special report on the independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., the American magazine " The New Yorker broke the news that in a recent text message exchange, Kennedy told an unidentified recipient that Trump is "a terrible person. He is the worst president ever, and he is barely human." (barely human). He could be a sociopath."
He then added that President Biden is "more dangerous to the United States and the earth" than Trump. The article did not explain why he evaluated the two men so. According to the report, neither the Trump nor Kennedy campaigns responded to the report. The
report mentioned that Trump and Kennedy had just had a conference call not long before these text messages were sent, and Kennedy also publicly apologized for leaking part of the call content.
At that time, Trump first shared the erroneous statement about childhood vaccines on the phone, saying that vaccinations for children are like those for horses. Once vaccinated, you can see immediate changes in children, and praised Kennedy for his continued support. Vaccine skepticism.
Trump then changed the topic and tried to persuade the independent candidate to support his campaign. "I wish you could do something. I think it would be very beneficial and meaningful to you," he said on the phone. "We're way ahead of that guy and we're going to win," he added.
According to the "New Yorker" report, the day after the "telephone incident", Kennedy attended the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. His campaign director and daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox also revealed to The New Yorker that Trump and his team suggested at the convention that Kennedy should end his campaign and asked him what he would do if he won the White House again. There was no position he wanted to hold, "and they said, 'We know you're going to get more from us than you're going to get from Biden.'"
Fox went on to say that Kennedy was not opposed to serving in the Trump administration, and that he Also thinks the head of the Department of Health and Human Services would be a "very interesting" position. But she also mentioned that if the Democratic nominee Harris wins the election in November this year, Kennedy is also willing to join her new government.
The New Yorker mentioned that in January 2017, Kennedy visited then-President Trump at Trump Tower. At that time, he told reporters that he was invited by Trump to serve as chairman of the Vaccine Safety Committee. However, the Trump campaign later denied that such a proposal had been made.
As Kennedy withdrew from the Democratic presidential nomination midway and ran as an independent, this special article also talked about his views on his participation in the general election. The article
wrote that Kennedy admitted that the probability of him becoming the president of the United States was very low, but Trump's victory in 2016 without any political experience changed his view of his political future.
"I think I've always known that having (the presidency) as an ambition is a dangerous thing. At least part of me has always known that it's impossible to achieve that goal," Kennedy said. "But I think it's (Trump's victory) expands the possibility of things happening. "
According to the "Capitol Hill" report, the latest poll by the US election forecasting agency Decision Desk HQ showed that Kennedy's support rate was 4.2%, and Harris's support. The rate is 45.9%, while Trump’s is 44.4%.
ABC has earlier pointed out that while independent candidates rarely gain more than a few percentage points of the vote, Democrats have accused independent candidates in the 2000 and 2016 elections of diverting their votes to Republicans. Enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman.
Comprehensive "New York Post" reported on the 5th that a poll from the left-wing think tank "Data for Progress" showed that in the six-party predictions including Kennedy and other party candidates (Republicans, Democrats, Liberals , the Green Party and two post-independence candidates), Trump’s approval rating is 1 percentage point higher than Harris’s in key swing states.
cross data also shows that in the six-party prediction, Harris lost the votes of young people and low-income people to Trump. 46% of voters aged 18 to 34 ultimately supported Trump, while only 41% supported Harris. But in a one-on-one matchup, Harris will get 52% of the young votes.
After the Democratic Party replaced Harris as the nominee, the two parties were in a stalemate in the polls. A recent poll released by CBS showed that Harris (50%) leads Trump (49%) by 1 percentage point, which is an unprecedented result when Biden is running. , also made the Trump campaign team very dissatisfied, accusing the poll of being "false" and "manipulated" in order to favor the Democratic Party.
Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes issued a statement slamming the poll results. According to him, this poll of 3,102 registered voters included more liberal voters and fewer conservative voters than in previous surveys. If the weighting is correct, Trump should lead 51% to 49%.
"The fake news media continues to help dangerous liberal Kamala hide her record of economic failure and weak crime policies. Now, they will even use polls to inflate her results," Hughes wrote.
