Here's how Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of Trump affects voting intention

Leger President Jean-Marc Léger has reacted to the news that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has endorsed Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race. “Of Kennedy’s current 5% support, 2% would vote for Trump, 1% would vote for Harris and 2% would not vote in the election,” Leger said.

Léger confirmed that even though the level of support is small, it can make a difference in four or five swing states.

RFK Jr., who had been running as an Independent, announced the suspension of his campaign in a press conference in Arizona today, quickly drawing criticism from his siblings and other Kennedy family members, who have all endorsed the Democratic Party in the presidential race.

Never been less surprised in my life. Been saying it for over a year — RFKjr is for sale, works for Trump. Bedfellows and loving it.

Kamala Harris is for the people — the easiest decision of all time just got easier.
