Conservatives have been watching closely as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bid for the presidency stirs up the race, causing a shift in support from both Democrat and Republican candidates. While initially seen as a potential threat to President Trump’s reelection, Kennedy’s presence on the ballot seems to be benefiting Joe Biden in some cases.
In Michigan, where Kennedy has secured a spot on the general election ballot, surveys show a tighter race when more candidates are included. In a two-way matchup between Trump and Kennedy, Trump holds a small lead. However, in a five-way race with Kennedy, Cornel West, and Jill Stein, Trump’s lead narrows even more.

Despite conservatives showing support for Kennedy due to his stance against COVID vaccines and mandates, it’s important to note that Kennedy’s political views align more closely with radical leftists. Endorsing Hillary Clinton and voicing admiration for figures like Bernie Sanders and Louis Farrakhan, Kennedy’s environmental and economic agendas lean towards far-left ideologies.
Kennedy’s support for unrestricted abortion rights, significant tax hikes, and progressive economic policies put him at odds with conservative values. By advocating for measures like the Green New Deal and endorsing extreme tax rates, Kennedy’s platform contains elements that are antithetical to conservative principles.
With such drastic policy proposals, it remains unclear why any conservative voter would support Kennedy’s bid for the presidency. While some may agree with his views on COVID vaccines, it’s imperative for voters to consider his overall political alignment and the implications of his radical policy agenda on the country.
