He failed to qualify for next week’s presidential debate, is bleeding cash, and is on a mere nine state ballots, reducing his chances to, “essentially nil.”
The idea was basically that having the name Kennedy and touting his environmental work (from before when a worm ate part of his brain) would suddenly induce a bunch of Democrats to vote for him. So he got to dine with billionaires and they tossed him money.
I think it was also to capture the crowd who maybe disliked Trump, but didn’t feel like they could go Biden. His running gives these people someone other than Biden to vote for. It’s the reason Trump’s backers have been funneling money into his campaign (his “supporters” haven’t). And and vote not for Biden helps Trump either win, or with building support for his next insurrection upon losing.

Don’t underestimate the otherwise liberal voters who have been part of the anti (measles) vaccine movement for decades.

Meanwhile, every single other living Kennedy denounced him and endorsed Biden.
Yeah, but there is a significant portion of the voting public that are willfully ignorant.
