Description

Alan discusses some of the repercussions of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s decision to suspend his campaign for the Presidency and throw his support behind Donald Trump. He talks about his own view of RFK's announcement speech a week later, the confusion of which states' ballots RFK will be on, the possibility RFK's turn to Trump foreshadows a party realignment, and the effects on the minor party eco-system.
