Potential RFK-Trump collaboration may prove beneficial on battlefield
There are a couple of days left of the Democratic National Convention.
Its result is preordained, the narrative is scripted, and the enthusiasm is performative.
While it’s impossible to actually knock a political convention from being the lead story in most news publications, former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy have a unique opportunity to do so Friday, shifting the spotlight from Chicago to an unorthodox political alliance that may give Trump back some of the momentum he had before Vice President Kamala Harris took the top spot on the 2024 ticket.

Kennedy running mate Nicole Shanahan raised the prospect of an alliance between the GOP nominee and the independent candidate.
“There’s two options that we’re looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” she said on the Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu podcast.
Once a third-party campaign starts floating these kinds of scenarios, the game is about over.
