Donald Trump may have a card up his sleeve for an "October surprise," and J.D. Vance should be worried, a conservative columnist said Saturday.
During an appearance on MSNBC over the weekend, columnist Jennifer Rubin — a loyal conservative until Donald Trump came along — was asked about the impact Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent Trump endorsement might have on the presidential race.
Specifically, the host said, "This average of national polls we will put this up here on the screen. You can see there, before Vice President Harris took over the top of the ticket, with Kennedy in the race, Trump was leading President Biden. Now with Vice President Harris at the top of the ticket, she's leading Trump with Kennedy in the race. With him out of the race, just a two-way race, she gets a bump, what do you make of this?"

Rubin replied, "The more people know about Bobby Kennedy the more people who are saying they do not want to vote for him."
"I think he's a perfect match for Donald Trump," she added before making a prediction.
"In fact, if I were J.D. Vance, I would stick by the phone, because he might be just the kind of guy that Trump would pull in as an October surprise."
She continued, saying Kennedy is "freaking in every sense of the word."
