I'm not sure about this. I feel like an independent democrat would siphon off more votes from Harris than Trump. Maybe their internal polling says otherwise.
The proper comparison is him dropping out while endorsing Trump vs staying in the race.
RJK endorsing Trump would give back all his lean-Trump voters and a good chunk of his lean-Harris ones. That'd be way better than staying in the race regardless of which side he's pulling from.
