Why would RFK Jr do this?

What is confusing you op?
His candidacy has also been to help Trump reclaim the White House.
He is just considering making that formal now.

To carry on JFK and RFK’s legacy, obviously.

He had apparently approached both camps previously and offered to throw his support behind them, if he could get a position in their cabinet. I thought they had both turned him down, but maybe Trump is looking to shore up his support with a little quid pro quo.

If all his voters now switch to Trump it will put him ahead of Harris, right? I wonder what will be offered to RFK Jr.

Yes, that would almost certainly put him ahead of Harris (in almost all of the swing states) if most of the JFK voters decide to vote for Trump.

RFK. They call him RFK.
They say a worm ate some of his brain,
Can you believe that?
They say a worm ate his brain.

But that’s OK. That’s OK.
And he’s got the shaaaakkkky voice,
I’m not so sure about the voice,
I’m really not so sure about that voice.

Wrong.

The people supporting RFK are the crazies who aren't crazy enough to support Trump. These are people who will likely just not vote at all.

Because the only group that eats roadkill and doesn’t believe in vaccines is MAGA
