He failed to qualify for next week’s presidential debate, is bleeding cash, and is on a mere nine state ballots, reducing his chances to, “essentially nil.”
The idea was basically that having the name Kennedy and touting his environmental work (from before when a worm ate part of his brain) would suddenly induce a bunch of Democrats to vote for him. So he got to dine with billionaires and they tossed him money.
He’s not running on a platform of pre-brain-worm or environmental work, he’s running on an extremist platform, and anyone who votes thinking he’d be an alternative to Biden, probably also has a brain-worm, and will be a very small minority compared to the people voting for him because he’s an alternative to Trump.
I think it was also to capture the crowd who maybe disliked Trump, but didn’t feel like they could go Biden. His running gives these people someone other than Biden to vote for. It’s the reason Trump’s backers have been funneling money into his campaign (his “supporters” haven’t). And and vote not for Biden helps Trump either win, or with building support for his next insurrection upon losing.

Don’t underestimate the otherwise liberal voters who have been part of the anti (measles) vaccine movement for decades.

He’s not now but I think that was the pitch to the billionaires.
