As expected, #RFKJr showed up at the #Trump rally to endorse the Republican candidate. Trump said he'll set up a commission to investigate the JFK and RFK assassinations.
(Spoiler ... We did that in the 1960s.)
RFK Jr. will campaign for Trump in the weeks ahead, which reinforces my speculation earlier that Trump hopes RFK takes the spotlight off Vance.
(No, Walz won't debate RFK instead of Vance, don't get your hopes up, #MAGA.)

An historic old #Baseball park burned down in Ontario CA last night. Growing up in the area, I certainly remember Jay Littleton Park.
It was the home field for the Rockford Peaches in "A League of Their Own."

#Politics Rumor has it that #RFKJr will drop out today and announce he's endorsing #Trump. He could appear at a Trump rally scheduled this afternoon in #Arizona.
Personal speculation ... Trump may view this as a surrogate test drive. Vance has flopped miserably. He can't easily remove Vance as the VP nominee, but he can certainly pay for RFK Jr. to fly around the country holding rallies, thinking RFK is much more charismatic than Vance.
We'll see.

From #Bloomberg ... This report is unconfirmed so far by other sources. The accidents reportedly happened at the #BlueOrigin factory up the road on Space Commerce Way.
Idle thought ... #Trump has been in meltdown mode since the assassination attempt.*
Even for a world-class narcissist, I have to think a near-miss has to mess with your psyche. Trump now knows he's vulnerable. Instant death is one thing, but what if he were brain damaged and had to suffer for years?
I wish I could find a psychiatrist to ask about narcissists and near-death experiences.
* Anyone trying to tell me it was faked gets put on mute.
#RFKJr to drop out on Friday, expected to endorse #Trump.
RFK said earlier he'd drop out in exchange for a Cabinet or other administration executive position. I wonder if Trump promised him Director of the CDC. ๐คฌ
