Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared that Donald Trump’s guilty verdict has guaranteed him a landslide victory this November.
RFK Jr said the Democratic plan to “go after” Trump in court will completely backfire when Americans cast their ballots later this year.
“America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government’s separation of powers or weaponizing the courts,” Kennedy declared on X. “You can’t save democracy by destroying it first. The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom.”
Justthenews.com reports: Kennedy said that while he was also running against Trump, he was challenging Trump on his policies and not in court. Kennedy also claimed that the same policies he was attacking and confronting Trump on were the same policies that the current White House pursues.
Kennedy, who has launched a dark horse bid for the White House, said the Democratic plan to “go after” Trump in court will backfire at the ballot box. Trump was found guilty by a New York jury on Thursday, on all 34 felony counts of falsifying his business records to hide an alleged hush money payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels.

President Joe Biden attempted to lobby for donations after the verdict, claiming that although the conviction was an important victory for Democrats, beating Trump at the ballot box was even more important.
“The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater,” Michael Tyler, Biden 2024 campaign communications director, wrote in a statement. “A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence — and the American people will reject it this November.”
