Good. Hurry up.

The coalition of Democratic groups that pressured No Labels out of the 2024 contest is now turning its sights on #RFKJr.

Veteran Democratic strategist Joe Trippi warns us to be skeptical of claims now being pushed by Republicans that RFKJr's candidacy may hurt Trump. Trippi thinks that RFK's threat is primarily to Biden, and Republicans are trying to run a bait-and-switch with the claim that RFK may hurt Trump

How Trump and the GOP are Using RFK Jr. to Pull a Big Scam

With Donald Trump and Republicans suddenly professing worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bid could hurt them, a top Democratic strategist warns us not to get snowed by their con job.

“As #RFKJr.’s pres campaign ran up debts & spent heavily on ballot access, security & consultants, he received a lifeline at the end of March in the form of a $2 million cash infusion from his newly minted running mate, Nicole Shanahan..

Kennedy’s campaign reported raising $5.4 million in March, including the money from Ms. Shanahan, which was recorded on March 27 — the day after he announced her as his running mate“

Via Stephen Fowler:

#RFKJr campaign's March campaign finance report is up.

$5.4m receipts (including $2 million from VP pick Nicole Shanahan)

$4.5m spent (including ~$500k on events/facilities)

$6m cash on hand

One reason Shanahan was tapped to join RFK's longshot third party bid is her wealth/ability to infuse cash in the campaign.

This is on top of $4 million she gave to a pro-RFK super pac to fund his Super Bowl ad.
