They were attracted to RFK Jr.’s consistent position on COVID lock-downs and vaccine mandates, as well as his anti-war policies. When Ron Paul ran for the Republican nomination for president in 2012, he brought thousands of Libertarians into the Nevada Republican Party. So many followed him in the Nevada Republican Party that they took over the Clark County Republican Party in 2017 a coupe. While these two groups have some overlap with Republicans, like lower taxes, 2A supporters, and economic freedom, they are wildly different on foreign policy, border control, and law and order. While RFK is snapping up legacy Democratic voters, he is also pulling those libertarians away from Trump. JD Vance is Trump’s answer to RFK Jr. Sen. Vance blasted COVID-era vaccine and mask requirements, writing in a 2021 editorial that COVID-19 vaccine mandates are an “invasion of medical privacy.” Last year, Vance introduced a bill that would prohibit mask mandates, calling them a failed policy of the pandemic, the same as RFK Jr. Sen. Vance has openly campaigned against any additional funding for Ukraine, the same as RFK Jr. According to the polls, RFK Jr. has been drawing voters from both parties. Will JD Vance stop the bleeding? What do you think?
