Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump .

Julian Zelizer : Kennedy has promised to provoke a “realignment” of environmental politics.

He says Kennedy 's vision rests on the electoral vehicle of Trump , who appointed profiteers from the plastics industry and Big Agriculture to key roles responsible for food and water safety.

Zelizer says Democrats should make a serious play for his voters.

Kennedy : A vote for Trump is no way to express your love and commitment to Mother Nature .

Kennedy : Democrats need to seize an electoral opportunity to press the case.

Trump has clear reasons to be beholden to the petrochemical industry as well as Big Ag and manufacturers of ultraprocessed foods.
