      From polling, it appears that you are correct. Although how committed those voters are remains to be seen. I think I recall Johnson polling at around 6% in 2016 but ended up with a little over 3%.

      well he’s going for the uneducated fuckwit vote, so yeah.

      wasn’t necessarily true before, mind you. i think a lot of people were going to vote for him just because they didn’t want to choose between the same two dudes again.

      also the more he talks the more he’ll drive away any voters lucky enough to have multiple neurons, and maybe steal a couple single neuron voters.

      Harris and her advisers have not responded with an offer to meet or shown interest in the proposal, say people familiar with the conversations.

      The Kennedy outreach, made through intermediaries, follows a meeting in Milwaukee last month between Kennedy and Republican nominee Donald Trump to discuss a similar policy role and endorsement that resulted in no agreement.

      I imagine that Kennedy would like some return on kingmaking.
