Once again, the Democrats in Michigan are trying to sabotage President Trump’s chances of victory in the upcoming presidential election. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former independent presidential candidate, had a strategic plan to bolster Trump’s chances by withdrawing his name from the ballot in 10 crucial battleground states, including Michigan. But guess what? The Michigan Secretary of State’s office has thrown a spanner in the works.

Kennedy, who had previously announced that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump, is now stuck on the Michigan ballot as the candidate for the Natural Law Party. The spokesperson for the Secretary of State’s office, Cheri Hardmon, smugly announced that it’s too late for minor party candidates like Kennedy to withdraw their names. So, despite his wishes to step aside and support Trump, Kennedy’s name will remain on the ballot come November.

This is a critical time in the race. The Real Clear Polling average shows Democratic nominee Kamala Harris with a measly 2-point lead over Trump nationally (46.4 to 44.4 percent), while Kennedy is pulling in 5 percent of the vote. In most battleground states, the race is neck and neck.

Ever since Biden chickened out and let Harris take over as the Democratic nominee, Kennedy’s support has dwindled by about 3 points. But here’s the kicker: recent surveys show that Kennedy is actually pulling more votes from Trump than Harris! A New York Times/Siena College poll reveals that 41 percent of Kennedy’s supporters would vote for Trump in a two-way race, compared to just 27 percent who would choose Harris. An Emerson College poll also showed a majority of Kennedy’s supporters leaning towards Trump.

This implies that Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump could potentially give our president a crucial 1 or 2 percent bump in the polls. This could be the game-changer in deciding the outcome of the presidential race in battleground states.

While Kennedy has managed to remove his name from the ballots of Arizona, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, he remains on the ballots of Nevada and Wisconsin, and possibly North Carolina. Despite the roadblocks put up by Democrats, Kennedy’s endorsement and continued presence on the ballot may actually play to Trump’s advantage. He could potentially win over independent voters who might have otherwise voted for Harris. As the race intensifies, this could provide Trump with the much-needed boost to secure victory in Michigan.
