Eric Gerwin, a Wixom resident, said former President Donald Trump, who was recently endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is willing "to engage with common Americans," unlike Democrat nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. 

"The Trump Republican Party has become the party of the working man and woman," Gerwin said. “The Democrats have traded 'love of country and family' for elite donors and endless wars."

“I support Trump and Kennedy's willingness to engage with common Americans via interview and podcast," he continued. "'Border Czar' Harris has refused to do any unscripted interviews since being appointed as the Democrat nominee for President.”

Independent White House Nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently announced that he was suspending his presidential campaign and endorsing Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy is not dropping out of the presidential race, his name will remain on the ballot in many states and he even encourages people to vote for him. However, he will cease to continue his campaigning efforts and will seek to remove his name from the ballots in ten swing states. 

Kennedy, son of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, comes from one of the most famous Democratic families in U.S. history. The endorsement of a Republican candidate is unheard of in this deeply blue family; however, Kennedy said he can no longer support a party that is so different from the one he grew up in. 

In his 45-minute speech, Kennedy covered many topics including obesity in America, the decline of health, and the ongoing Ukrainian war. Kennedy hopes to work with President Trump if he wins the election in 2024 to bring to fruition many of his hopes and dreams for America. 

There is hope for America “if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other,” Kennedy said in his speech. 

Of the voters who previously supported Kennedy over the other candidates, a large majority say they identified as independents, according to a Pew Research study. A larger amount say they would lean Republican, 40%, then Democratic, 26%.
