Will RFK Jr.'s MAHA voters shun GOP in midterms over 'major mistake'?

Trump's recent executive order to increase the production of glyphosate might derail MAHA voters' support for the GOP, the movement’s leaders say.
WASHINGTON - Minutes before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in as the nation’s HHS Secretary last year, President Donald Trump acknowledged the role his one-time challenger had played in getting him elected.
“He was a very tough competitor. I did not like it at all. I said, let's get him on my side,” Trump said.
In April 2023, RFK Jr. launched a long-shot Democratic primary challenge against then-President Joe Biden. Six months later, he was running for the White House as an independent before ultimately abandoning his campaign to endorse Trump, the Republican nominee.
“Bobby brought together a coalition of supporters across party lines," Trump continued during Kennedy's swearing-in ceremony. "And I think a lot of that support came my way when we decided to do the merger."
More than a year into their working relationship, that merger is showing signs of unraveling as the midterm elections approach.
