Mr. Kennedy said he will remove his name from the ballot in battleground states, so as not to be a spoiler.

In his speech on Friday, Mr. Kennedy implied that Mr. Trump had offered him a role in his second administration, dealing with health care and food and drug policy. “We’re going to reform the entire food system,” he said.

It’s worth noting that Kennedy’s health care policy is to bring back measles, that he eats roadkill, and had part of his brain eaten by a worm as a result.

        Yeah…you’re right it doesn’t really make sense. I guess my thought was that he was supposed to be posing as an alternative liberal, but if he’s out, that’s irrelevant.

      He may or may not know he was a spoiler, right now his most important task is to try and grab a hold of a cabinet position in whoever wins. He knows Kamala isn’t stupid enough to give his brain worm any power, but Trump is absolutely corrupt and stupid enough to do so.
