It appears that the support for Trump that RFJ Jr. promised from the Independents and disaffected Democrats who previously supported him was not just lip service.
Let’s back up a tiny bit first. As my colleague Susie Moore wrote on Friday, former Independent 2024 presidential candidate, Bobby Kennedy Jr. has now urged his supporters to vote for Donald Trump in all states, not just the swing states where the former president and opponent Kamala Harris are competitive.

This comes on the heels of some small “wins” against a Democrat Party machine that Kennedy knows all too well, against which he has battled in many states to get his name on ballots for the November election for nearly a year now–but has been forced to file suit after he suspended his campaign in August and asked to remove his name in battleground states where he might act as a spoiler.

Now, it appears some of the folks who rode through the storms with Kennedy on his campaign ship are going all-in for Trump, by announcing the start-up of a new SuperPAC to give Trump the edge–especially in swing states.
Politico has the exclusive/scoop:
About one dozen ex-staffers are behind the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) PAC, Jeff Hutt, a spokesperson for the PAC, told POLITICO. The group includes many members of the independent campaign’s former field team, he said.
…
The PAC plans to add grassroots support to Kennedy’s new directive.
Hutt, Kennedy’s former national field director, told the publication:
This is what we need to do to get Mr. Kennedy over the finish line and to go and do this with the same energy that our volunteers and supporters were using to get Mr. Kennedy in the White House.
Now they need to take that energy and refocus it into getting Mr. Kennedy a seat at the table at the White House with a unity ticket with Donald Trump.
He added that the PAC is a “labor of love.” Where will the PAC be operating? Everywhere that will conceivably help former Pres. Trump in November, Politico reported, including blue states like Virginia and New Hampshire:
The PAC plans to focus on voters both in swing states where Kennedy is unable to get his name off the ballot — legal challenges are ongoing — and blue states where it believes it has significant enough volunteers and polling support to help Trump. Virginia and New Hampshire are top targets.
You could say these supporters … put their money (and energy) where their mouth is. People who do what they say they’re going to go a long way in earning others’ trust, and that’s what needs to happen for unity in this extremely divided election cycle to happen. It’s a positive step.
And that sound you hear, readers? It’s liberal Democrats, from D.C. to the Hamptons, New York, to Kennebunkport, Maine, losing their ever-loving minds over this news. Such a sweet, sweet sound it is, too.
