What's this?

Yeah, I think you're probably right, that Trump's voters are more solid,


albeit lower than it was before the '20 election IMO, and those will turn out. So RFK Jr. would more likely serve as an option for disaffected Biden voters that just can't stomach voting for him again after the last 4 yrs. But that then belies the claims that "whacky" RFK Jr. appeals more to the "RWNJ's" than he does Dems and Indies.

Which actually makes more sense to me, because I can't see why any actual conservative would ever find RFK Jr. a suitable alternative. In the end, I don't think RFK Jr. will have anywhere near the impact current polling suggests, but in a close election, it only needs to be enough in a handful of states to make a difference. It will come down to the apathy and disaffected voters on the Biden side that vote elsewise this go around, or just sit it out, IMO. And that would concern me more if I was a Biden supporter than if I was a Trump one.
