“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
Getting elected president of the United States is one of the hardest human undertakings.
It’s hard enough to prevail, considering the shady activities pulled off by the crooked officials of the Biden administration and their henchmen in the Deep State.
But it’s almost unthinkable as a third-party candidate.
That may explain why an official in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign may have let it slip that he’s in it to win it…but not for himself.
RFK Jr. may be in the race just to cost Joe Biden the presidency…and Biden is pulling out all the stops to spike Kennedy’s campaign.
The shocking revelation that Kennedy may really want to see Donald Trump win November’s election came from Rita Palma, who said she is RFK Jr.’s New York state director.
In a campaign event targeting Republicans, Palma said there’s no way Donald Trump is going to win the state where he was born: New York is too solidly Democratic for that to happen.
New Yorkers would never vote for Trump…but they might vote for Kennedy.
In fact, the state has fond memories of the candidate’s father running for president 56 years ago…when he was their U.S. senator…and the assassin’s bullet that ended the second Camelot presidency before it began.
So, Palma told Republicans that if you want Donald Trump to win in November, vote for RFK Jr. in New York.
“Give those 28 electoral votes to Bobby rather than to Biden, thereby reducing Biden’s” total, she said. “We all know how that works, right — 270 wins the election.”
“If nobody gets to see 270, then Congress picks the president, right?” she asked. “Right now we have a majority of Republicans in Congress.”
And do you think they’re going to elect, she asked? They’re going to elect Trump.
Palma, who said she had volunteered with the 2016 Trump campaign, told Republicans to save their votes in New York…and to knock on doors in neighboring Pennsylvania, where the 45th president might stand a chance.

Democrats’ heads immediately began to explode.
“RFK Jr’s campaign isn’t building a plan or a strategy to get 270 electoral votes,” said DNC spokesperson Matt Corridoni. “They’re building one to help Trump return to the Oval Office.”
Donald Trump didn’t do anything to rid them of that idea. In fact, on Thursday, Trump all but endorsed RFK Jr.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s campaign is “great for MAGA,” Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social.
“RFK Jr. is, as you know, the most radical candidate in the race,” Trump began. “But he’s got some nice things about him. I happen to like him.”
“RFK Jr.’s going to be taking votes away from Joe Biden—and he should, because he’s actually better than Biden. He’s much better than Biden,” said Trump. “If I were a Democrat, I’d vote for RFK Jr. every single time over Biden, because he’s frankly more in line with Democrats.”
He also mentioned that Kennedy’s vice presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, is a liberal.
Many pundits believed RFK Jr.’s selection of Shanahan proved that he wanted to get revenge against Joe Biden. Polling shows Kennedy doing better than any third-party candidate since Ross Perot in 1992.
All of that means RFK Jr. “is Joe Biden’s political opponent, not mine,” Trump said, so he expects Kennedy “to be indicted any day now.”
“The Communists will make it very hard on him to get on the ballot,” Trump said. “They really went after him viciously, just like they go after me. Welcome to the club, RFK Jr.”
With the Left split between Biden and RFK — not to mention Cornel West, who just picked a BLM activist as his running mate, and former Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein — that leaves Trump free to run to the middle…in hopes of setting up a landslide, like Nixon in 1972.
“We have the Right, and we have the center. And we have even the center-Left, a little bit,” said Trump—while Biden and RFK Jr. will “fight it out” for the support of windmill
“I do believe he’s going to take a lot of votes away from Crooked Joe Biden,” President Trump concluded.
Trump: “If I were a Democrat, I’d vote for RFK Jr.”

Trump is right that the Biden operation plans to go all-out to take down Kennedy, calling him a “stalking horse” for Trump.
“We know the GOP is already working to prop up third-party candidates like Robert Kennedy Jr. to make them stalking horses for Donald Trump,” said Corridoni.
They may have even put a U.S. congressman up to trying to undermine Kennedy’s campaign.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., actually wrote a letter begging Nicole Shanahan to drop off the ticket as Kennedy’s running mate.
“Even Trump himself, and other members of his team, have admitted that a RFK Jr. ticket will help his reelection,” Khanna wrote. “While you may have fair disagreements on the Democratic Party’s platform, it is clear that a second term for Trump would be disastrous.”
But Shanahan said she and Khanna talked after she first became RFK Jr.’s vice presidential candidate…and Khanna sang a different tune then.
“In my conversation with Ro he congratulated me on the position and encouraged me to run, stating that every American has the right to run in this country,” Shanahan wrote on X. “He stated that we live in a democracy, and it was wrong for anyone to threaten me against running.”
“Clearly, Ro has changed his stance based on pressure from the party,” she said.
Is Biden pressuring Khanna to pressure RFK Jr.?
Does the DNC have more dirty tricks in store to spike his campaign?
Is RFK Jr. really in the race to elect Donald Trump?
RFK Jr. says he’s running for president to destroy to Deep State. If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. elects Donald Trump president this November, he may fulfill his campaign promise—and pull off one of the greatest political achievements in modern U.S. history—without winning the election.
