Donald Trump would benefit from independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropping out of the election race, according to experts.
State and national polls show that when third party candidates are included, Kennedy Jr. is taking more votes from Trump than Kamala Harris three months ahead of the election.
A Fox News survey of 1,034 Pennsylvania voters conducted between July 22 and 24, showed that 10 percent of his two-way supporters choose someone else when third party candidates are included, while only 7 percent of Harris supporters select a different candidate.
When third party candidates were included, Harris had a 2-point lead over Trump, with 45 percent of the vote to his 43 percent. Meanwhile, Kennedy took 7 percent, with Jill Stein and Cornel West on 1 percent each.
