Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s volunteers are airing their frustrations over recent reports the third-party candidate may drop out of the 2024 race this week and endorse Donald Trump.
“There are tens of thousands of us who have dedicated the last year of our lives to getting our candidate on the ballot for the sheer reason that Americans have an Independent voice,” one Kennedy organizer told Mediaite on Thursday. “We have the right to vote for who we choose. This is not the time for backroom deals so we get one of the two evils.”
In an email sent to campaign staff that was obtained by Mediaite, campaign manager Amaryllis Kennedy addressed the speculation that the former Democrat would be exiting the race.
“Any path forward changes the outcome,” she wrote. “With calcified support on both sides of the aisle, this 10+% of the electorate is the only molten force in the race.” She added that an update would be coming Friday, when Kennedy is set to hold a speech near a Trump rally in Pennsylvania.
The organizer slammed the idea that Kennedy would drop out and endorse the Republican nominee. “A million people have said they want the right to vote for [Kennedy], and it is not democratic that the right be taken away from a backroom deal. While we acknowledge and understand how valuable he would be in a Trump administration, it is too early to make that decision.”
Mediaite attended a Zoom call on Thursday organized by Kennedy campaign volunteers labeled the “People for Kennedy Urgent Call to Action Meeting” with more than 100 in attendance. Mediaite reported that the call was emotionally-charged, with some attendees crying at the prospect of Kennedy dropping out.
An attendee who expressed discontent about Kennedy dropping out said during the meeting, “We are facing a big unknown tomorrow and asking you all to come together to see what we can do,” one attendee said during the meeting. “No matter how much we trust [Kennedy], many of us would not vote for Trump. What can we do today?”
Another attendee chimed in with a similar sentiment: “I don’t say these things lightly. We don’t know until it happens what the announcement will be and if he says he will endorse Trump, it will be seen as the two-party system has won again. Him being promised a cabinet position, Trump has gone through cabinet members like candy. I don’t think we can trust Trump. We need to take this into our own hands. I would personally like to force his hand and we should storm social media and make a one to three-minute video of ‘Hey Bobby, this is who I am, this is what I have done, we are a movement. You’ve been warning us for over a year about a two-party system.’ This for me was never about Kennedy, it was about breaking the two-party system.”
Another grassroots volunteer proposed writing in for Kennedy as a protest vote: “There is absolutely nothing stopping us from voting for Bobby and writing him in as a way to protest this.”
“If Kennedy teases withdrawing and endorsing Trump, to the point of staging an announcement in Phoenix when Trump is there too, and then, after detailing everything the Dems have done, announces he’s STAYING IN, that’s a masterstroke. He grabs the spotlight at the close of the Dem convention, shines it on their misconduct, does his moral duty by showing defiance and tenacity, and goes down in history as a hero and example to us all, even if he only gets 4%. If, instead, he withdraws and endorses Trump, he amplifies Harris’s convention bounce, feeds into the Dems’ narrative about him being a Trump plant, rewards their lawfare and media manipulation, does nothing for himself or Trump, and discredits himself forever,” added another concerned attendee.
On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump paused his North Carolina rally to check on an attendee who fainted during the event.
“What’s wrong? A doctor please. It is very hot here, I notice,” Trump said as people in the crowd shouted “Medic!”
After a few moments, Trump stepped down from his podium and walked toward the stands on his left, where he chatted with the smiling woman, who had revived and held a bottle of water.

The Republican nominee had to abandon the protection of the bulletproof glass he was speaking behind in order to approach the woman.
Trump hugged her before returning to his podium.
“Thank you very much. You know, they come two days, three days early, and it’s a lot of stress. We lose them,” Trump said when he returned to the podium on Wednesday.
The temperature was over 75 degrees in Asheboro on Wednesday.
Wednesday’s rally was Trump’s first one outdoors since a gunman made an assassination attempt on his life last month.
During Wednesday’s rally, Trump also hammered several issues, particularly foreign threats.
“Peace in Europe has been shattered by the largest European land war since the fall of Nazi Germany,” he said.
Trump also threw barbs at his opponent, noting that during the 2020 presidential race, Harris dropped out before the Iowa Caucuses.
“She ran against Biden. There were 22 people running. She was the first to leave. She quit,” Trump said. “She never made it to the first state in the primary.”
“We have stupid people running our government, and she’ll be worse than Biden because he wasn’t really a believer, but she’s a radical Left believer,” he said. “She ruined San Francisco. She ruined California, and if she gets in, our country doesn’t have a chance.”
Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) recently disclosed that the person accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump had encrypted messaging accounts on platforms based in three different foreign countries. Waltz, a prominent Republican congressman, elaborated on these claims during an interview on Benny Johnson’s podcast.

Waltz’s comments have attracted considerable attention because of his involvement in the bipartisan task force that is currently investigating the assassination attempt. The task force has been diligently working to uncover the methods and motivations behind the plot against the former president, as well as the security failures that led to the near catastrophe. While details remain murky, Waltz’s statements suggest that the suspect may have coordinated with individuals or entities outside the United States, raising concerns about foreign involvement in the incident.
“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aide need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad, where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into? That’s a question I’ve had since day one,” Waltz told reporters at the Trump Hotel in downtown Chicago.
Waltz, a retired Green Beret, then ripped the FBI and Secret Service for not releasing more information from the investigations into the attempted assassination.
“They need to be releasing information as they come across it because this wasn’t an isolated incident,” he said. “The threats are continually Iran’s threats.”
Before the assassination attempt, U.S. authorities were informed by a source that there was an Iranian plot to kill Trump, CNN reported. The Biden administration reportedly told the Trump campaign and Secret Service of the alleged plot, but the troubling intelligence info raised new concerns about the security breakdown at Trump’s rally. Iran “strongly” rejected it had any role in the Trump assassination attempt, adding that it “is determined to pursue legal action against Trump for his direct role in the crime of assassinating Martyr General Qassem Soleimani.”

Waltz, who represents Florida’s 6th Congressional District, has served in Congress since 2019, following the departure of Ron DeSantis, who became Florida’s governor. Waltz is known for his strong national security credentials, having served as a Green Beret in the U.S. Army. His military career includes multiple combat tours in Afghanistan, where he demonstrated exceptional bravery and leadership, earning him several awards and honors. He was the first Green Beret to be elected to Congress.
The Broader Implications
The use of encrypted messaging platforms by the would-be assassin, especially those based in foreign countries, underscores the challenges law enforcement and intelligence agencies face in combating modern threats. Encrypted communications can make it difficult to track and prevent such plots, particularly when they involve international actors.
As the investigation continues, questions about the extent of foreign involvement and the implications for U.S. national security remain at the forefront. The task force’s findings could lead to increased scrutiny of encrypted messaging platforms and their potential use by individuals seeking to harm public figures.
Do you think the U.S. government should have greater access to encrypted messaging platforms to prevent potential threats to national security? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

The Trump campaign had a hilarious response to Orpah Winfrey’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) speech.
On Wednesday night, popular talkshow host Oprah Winfrey took the DNC stage in Chicago to criticize Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance 24 years after she suggested he would make a good president.
“We know all the old tricks and tropes that are designed to distract us from what actually matters,” Winfrey told the crowd at the United Center. “But we are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery. These are complicated times, people, and they require adult conversation. And I welcome those conversations because civilized debate is vital to democracy, and it is the best of America.”
In another veiled shot at Trump, Winfrey said, “Now, there’s a certain candidate that says if we just go to the polls this one time, that we’ll never have to do it again. Well, you know what? You’re looking at a registered independent who’s proud to vote again and again and again because I’m an American. And that’s what Americans do. Voting is the best of America.”
Shortly after Winfrey criticized him, the Trump campaign posted a thank-you letter Winfrey wrote in 2000 suggesting that he would be a good president.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to address the nation about his path forward in the presidential race Friday from Phoenix, Arizona.
Kennedy’s press secretary, Stefanie Spear, posted the announcement about “the present historic moment and his path forward” on social media on Wednesday afternoon.

The announcement comes amid increased speculation the third-party candidate may be dropping out of the race.
On Tuesday, RFK Jr,’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan admitted they are considering ending the campaign.
“We are taking a very serious look at making sure that the people that have corrupted our fair and free democracy do not end up in office,” she said on an episode of the “Impact Theory” podcast posted Tuesday.
The successful entrepreneur and attorney admitted there are two paths for the RFK campaign to go down, one being to stay in the race and create more legitimacy for independent presidential candidates, or to suspend its run and endorse Trump, which could give him the lift he needs to beat Harris in November.
“Is the risk of a Harris-Walz presidency worth us staying in?” she asked podcast host Tom Bilyeu.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said this week that he is open to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. serving in his administration if he were to win a second term this fall.
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”
Trump said that he would “love” an endorsement from Kennedy because he’s “always liked” him.
He indicated that he “probably would” appoint Kennedy to a role in the administration if Kennedy were to drop out and endorse him.
“I like him a lot. I respect him a lot,” Trump said. “I probably would, if something like that would happen. He’s a very different kind of a guy — a very smart guy. And, yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement, certainly.”
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was seen outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago getting into a heated argument with a Kamala Harris supporter.
Lindell and Rudy Guiliani attended the DNC on the second day of the convention Tuesday.
In a video posted to social media, Lindell was escorted away by his entourage after the argument. The two men shook hands before he departed.

The two men were seen exiting a black SUV on West Maypole Avenue on Tuesday afternoon. They claimed they wanted to inspect the fortified fencing after the previous iteration was breached by pro-Palestinian protestors the day before.
Not long after getting out of the car, Lindell got into a “shouting match” with Anthony Arrington, a Harris supporter from Iowa. Arrington grilled Lindell for denying the results of the 2020 election. Among Lindell’s biggest complaints about the election was the use of electronic voting machines. He would like to return to paper ballots.
“Do you pay by credit card?” Arrington reportedly asked him. “We can spend all this money, folks, on technology to spend money, but we can’t figure out technology to vote? That’s what I’m hearing.”
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said this week that he is open to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. serving in his administration if he were to win a second term this fall.
Trump’s remarks come after Kennedy reportedly said he reached out to Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s team about a potential Cabinet role in exchange for dropping out of the race.
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”

RFK Jr. continued those attacks on Tuesday when he called out the party for trying to rebrand itself as the “party of liberty.”
“Kamala Harris says that Americans should make personal decisions without the ‘government telling them what to do.’ Tim Walz’s Golden Rule is ‘Mind your own damn business,’” he posted on X. “In view of the censorship, surveillance, vaccine mandates, and the confederacy of fixers openly working to prevent me from getting on ballots, this is like the arsonist telling us he’s a firefighter.”
The Democratic Party positions itself as the party of liberty.

“Is the risk of a Harris-Walz presidency worth us staying in?” she asked podcast host Tom Bilyeu.
Shanahan also accused the DNC of sabotage.
“They have banned us, shadow-banned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every possible state, they’ve even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it and to create actual legal issues for us,” she said.
“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 Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump, we draw somehow more votes from Trump. Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and, you know, we walk away from that and explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” she said.
“Not an easy decision,” Shanahan added.
Earlier this month, reports indicated RFK Jr.’s potential plan to end his campaign when The Washington Post first reported he allegedly reached out to team Harris regarding a potential cabinet role.
“That’s fake news,” he said last week, adding, “I didn’t ask Kamala Harris for a Cabinet position, but I’ve reached out to all the candidates. I’ve met with some.”
Former President Donald Trump recently expressed his willingness to consider Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for a Cabinet position if he wins the White House in the upcoming election. Trump praised Musk, calling him a “brilliant guy” and adding, “He’s a very smart guy. I certainly would, if he would do it, I certainly would.”
Trump also hinted at potentially reversing the $7,500 tax credit currently available to Americans who purchase electric vehicles. The Biden administration has been promoting these incentives as part of its broader climate change agenda. Trump, however, commented, “Tax credits and tax incentives are not generally a very good thing,” following a campaign event on Monday in York, Pennsylvania.
Musk’s Response: Willingness to Serve
Musk responded later that day with a late-night tweet that featured a photo of himself standing at what appeared to be a podium with the acronym “D.O.G.E.,” an acronym for the ficitious “Department of Government Efficiency.” In his tweet, Musk stated, “I am willing to serve.”
Just last week, Trump and Musk engaged in a viral two-hour conversation on X, during which Musk expressed interest in participating in a government role. He specifically mentioned his interest in serving on a commission focused on analyzing national debt and reassessing congressional spending, though the idea of a Cabinet role was not directly addressed. Musk said, “I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that looks at these things to make sure taxpayer money is spent in a good way. I’d be happy to help out on such a commission.”
Musk has publicly thrown his support behind Trump in the presidential race, endorsing him immediately after the July 13 assassination attempt and backing a super PAC supporting Trump’s campaign.
During his campaign event in York, Trump also accused Vice President Kamala Harris of being aware of substantial foreign funds allegedly accumulated by the Biden family during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
He referenced a report by House Republicans accusing Biden of committing impeachable offenses, including “abuse of power” and “obstruction of justice or obstruction of Congress,” by allegedly facilitating and concealing a $27 million “influence-peddling racket” dating back to his time as vice president.
