Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard are the first pair of former Democratic presidential candidates to tour multiple swing states with each other on behalf of the Republican nominee they both endorsed.

The two have become the most electric surrogates for the campaign, drawing crowds, inspiring internet memes, and eliciting favorable coverage on aligned podcasts.

Gabbard has become the top woman surrogate for the Trump campaign at a time when he has had relatively few.

She helped Trump prepare for his only debate with Harris , earning that spot due to her debate performance.

Kennedy has become embroiled in alleged sex scandals involving women other than his wife.

Top Trump advisers say any reports of Trump distancing himself from Kennedy are false.

How big a boost Kennedy and Gabbard provide Trump is ultimately the million-dollar question.

A Republican consultant says Kennedy 's base was largely composed of middle-aged men who were infrequent voters and anti-vaxx women.
