NEW: I’m told by source directly familiar with the situation that talks between RFK Jr. and Trump camps are happening now — negotiations very fluid

Kennedy is seeking explicit promise from Trump that he/the RNC will work to keep the $15M state ballot infrastructure in tact

If Trump agrees, Kennedy will offer his endorsement and drop out on Friday, I’m told by source directly familiar

If Trump does not agree, Kennedy plans to stay in and press on, per source

The goal is to keep infrastructure in fact for future third party bids & appease donors

I’m told by a separate source in RFK Jr.-world that his wife Cheryl Hines does *not* want Kennedy to endorse Trump, further complicating matters

Mainstream Democrats heavily demonized the Bernie bros of 2016, who were, as demonstrated by their vote, sympathetic to working class struggles and were part of a coalition that also included a growing Latino base — both groups, who voted for a socialist, are now with Trump

Some on the left are absolutely furious this morning to see the working class coalition they built eight years ago fall to Trump. In the 2020 Dem primary, Sanders’ coalition expanded a lot with working class women, also seemingly forfeiting those gains in 2024 to Trump

So many factions of the populist leftist movement have been ignored, ridiculed or demonized by their own Democratic Party that they’ve sought out an alternative with Trump. I see almost no acknowledgment of this in the early “takes” about what Democrats got wrong

Thread: There is a major divide within the Democratic Party right now — arguably the highest of any point in Biden’s presidency — about prioritizing the economy over social/cultural issues, as the party prepares to point fingers after Nov. 8

1/

Progressives want a tighter economic message. They want to tell voters how they’re going to improve their lives. Give them something to aspire to. They want things like a higher minimum wage in the convo (as just one example)

2/

Moderates — including in the WH — want Dems to talk about things that evoke worry/fear: taking away rights, democracy, more Trumpism

They also want to argue that a host of issues - including abortion - is an “economic issue,” effectively linking everything back to that

Abortion as a closing pitch was always going to be a really risky proposition. But up against the economy? It makes it look almost fringe. Of course many people will disagree with this, but the cost of gas is *extremely* important to nearly everyone, abortion is simply not

“Results from a New York Times/Siena College poll … showed 5% of likely voters nationally ranking abortion as the most important problem facing the country today, whereas 26% named the economy and 18% named inflation or the cost of living”
