Three prominent former Democrats are ready to assist former President Donald Trump in establishing a more expansive “unity party” that he will head in order to triumph over Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, billionaire business magnate Elon Musk, and as of Friday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who were all previously associated with and endorsed the Democratic Party, have now joined forces with former President Donald Trump for this election and are prepared to aid him in attracting additional disenchanted Democratic voters.
“I attended my first Democratic Convention at the age of six in 1960,” Kennedy recalled on Friday of the era when his uncle John and father Robert Sr. ruled the Democratic establishment. “Back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution and of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars.”
“We were the party of labor, of the working class,” he added. “The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power. True to its name, it was the party of democracy,” he said during a nationally televised press conference Friday, announcing he was suspending his independent presidential campaign and backing Trump.
Kennedy argued he didn’t leave the Democrat Party, but rather that “it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with” that it left him and other traditional Democrats like him.
“It has become the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag and big money,” he declared.
Just the News’ John Solomon noted: “With that political indictment, Kennedy opened an unprecedented political door for defection. And standing at the threshold are two other celebrity defectors:” Musk and Gabbard, the latter of whom is reportedly helping Trump prepare for his Sept. 10 debate against Harris.
Even Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, echoed something similar, writing on X that “We may disagree with RFK Jr. about many things, but he’s right about how the Democratic Party uses lawfare and dirty tricks to suppress democratic competition and voter choice. The Dems preach about ‘saving democracy,’ but in reality they’re working overtime to stamp it out.”
Solomon added:
Senior Trump aides and outside advisers have been buoyed by the the once-unimaginable possibilities that:
- Musk would lend his massive X social platform for an historic interview and fund a Super PAC to boost Trump;
- Gabbard would help prep the GOP nominee for his debate with Kamala Harris and make a case for women to return to the GOP; and
- Kennedy would lend his famous family name and political capital to lure defectors, especially the young and first-time voters who flocked to his independent campaign
“We now have a trio of Power Rangers who can swoop right into the middle of the rival party and convince traditional Democrats that it’s OK to leave a party that left them,” one senior Trump adviser, who asked to remain anonymous, told Solomon.
Advisers commended Trump for setting aside previous conflicts, such as Musk’s competition with Trump’s Truth Social platform and Kennedy’s criticism during his campaign, and for privately reaching out to engage prominent Democrats.
Likewise, Trump made a deliberate attempt to mend fences with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, moving past four years of hostility with the influential governor, who holds considerable political sway in a crucial battleground state.
According to Solomon, experts believe that having a trio of well-known former Democrats available offers new strategic opportunities for the former president as he pursues a second term.
“I think that the Trump people should package Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F Kennedy Jr. together, and they would — as joint former Democrat witnesses about the corruption of the system — be devastating,” former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., told Just the News.
He also commended Trump for reconciling with Kemp.
“Look, Brian Kemp is far and away the strongest politician in Georgia. He’s been a remarkably effective governor, and the fact that he’s now, you know, all in is an enormous step in the right direction,” he explained. “And frankly, the fact that Trump has relaxed and accepted that having him as an ally really matters is very, very healthy, and I think it just dramatically improved the likelihood that we will carry Georgia,” Gingrich added.
