In his final push to help get Donald Trump elected, former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pleading with his supporters not to vote for him.

RFK Jr remains a threat to the Republican candidate’s chances because he remains on the ballot Wisconsin and Michigan despite pleading with authorities to remove him when he backed Trump. Given how close the election is expected to be in swing states, every vote counts - even ones cast for the former independent Kennedy.

“Don’t vote for me. If you want to see me in Washington, DC, VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP,” Kennedy wrote in a post on X on Tuesday, hours before polls closed around the United States. Kennedy, who withdrew his independent campaign for president in August to endorse Trump.

The former candidate and anti-vaxer said he’s “concerned” about his name remaining on the ballot in battleground states like Michigan and Wisconsin because it could impact Trump’s performance.

People are voting his name because they cant vote tsf and wont vote harris.

If he wasnt on the ballot, they would either write someone in or leave it blank.

They arent voting for him snd nevrt were.

He needs to get over himself.
