Trump allies have a plan to hurt Biden’s chances: Elevate third-party candidates

NY: Allies of former US President Donald Trump are discussing ways to elevate third-party candidates in key states to shift the November election away from President Joe Biden, along with other underhanded tactics to diminish Democratic votes.

According to a person who is involved in the effort and who, like several others, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the plans.

Trump allies also plan to amplify the progressive environmental records of Kennedy and expected Green Party candidate Jill Stein in key states, contrasting their policies with record oil production under Biden that has disappointed some climate activists.

A third, parallel effort in Michigan aims to decrease Democratic turnout by amplifying Muslim voters’ concerns about Biden’s support for Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip. Trump allies are discussing running ads in Dearborn, Michigan, and other parts of the state with large Muslim populations that would thank Biden for supporting Israel, according to three people familiar with the effort, which is expected to be led by a group unaffiliated external. with the Trump campaign.
