Robert F Kennedy Jr posted a new video on X on Tuesday, urging his followers not to vote for his name on the ballot, but to vote for Donald Trump.
This comes one day after the Michigan supreme court ruled that that Kennedy’s name will remain on the state’s ballot despite his withdrawal from the race several weeks ago.
“No matter what state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump” Kennedy said in the video. “That’s the only way we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington DC and fulfil the mission that motivated my campaign.”
Bottom line: No matter what state you live in, VOTE TRUMP. A Trump victory is a Kennedy victory. pic.twitter.com/GBn2p2RLnX

Project 2025 ex-director accuses Trump campaign advisers of ‘malpractice’
The former head of Project 2025, a rightwing blueprint for remaking the US government that was created by many of Donald Trump’s former officials, has urged the former president to replace his two campaign managers if he wants to win November’s presidential election.
Paul Dans, who stepped down as the project’s director in July after Trump dissociated himself from it, turned his fire on Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, blaming the advisers for a series of errors that he claims have jeopardised the Republican nominee’s chances of beating Kamala Harris.
Dans accused them of being guilty of overconfidence and of failing to adequately prepare Trump for the possibility that Harris would replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. That development changed the race, which polls suggested Trump had previously been leading. Dans told the New York Times:
Trump should be running like Secretariat at the Belmont, but instead it’s a race to the wire.
He also accused Trump’s campaign advisers of “malpractice”, and said their misjudgments led to an embarrassing public about-face, in which Trump finally claimed to disown the Project 2025 document.
