One thing that RFK Jr. said that Kudlow didn't mention was what I think was a brilliant strategy to give trump a leg up. He said he is not terminating his campaign, but merely suspending it. He said he is going to take  his own name off the ballots in battleground states, but crucially LEAVE it on the ballots in sold red and solid blue states. This means that in solid states, he will pull votes away from Kacklin' Kammie without affecting Trump's votes, which can and probably will throw popular vote to Trump. It could, conceivably, also throw more states electoral votes to Trump, as Democrats who are not Socialists vote for RFK Jr. rather than Heels Up Harris.

I don't know who his strategist is, but I'd like to buy the guy lunch.

I think the Cabinet post for RFK Jr. has probably already been discussed and promised. I think that was already sorted out before he gave his speech today. Some of the things he said in his speech led me to believe that, as he mentioned that hE and Trump were going to do things to address America's war on children via disease vectors, and that in Trump's 4 years, THEY would eradicate preventable childhood diseases by promoting "organic" foods for kids rather than the over-processed foods that are currently killing them off and making them sick for life so that they are funneled into relying of pharma solutions for the rest of their days.
