The latest ABC News poll showed Trump's RFK Jr. problem growing and worsening daily.

ABC News reported on their poll: “Kennedy gets 12%, even though 77% of his supporters say they know “only a little” or “hardly anything” about his positions on these issues. Notably, his supporters are more likely to be Republicans or Republican Party independents (54%) than Democrats and Democratic leaners (42%, a small difference given the sample size), and in a two-way race they prefer Trump to Biden. 13 points. That could explain why Trump attacked Kennedy as a stalking horse in social media posts last week.”
RFK Jr. has shifted its views to the right, receiving favorable treatment in the conservative media and worrying the Trump campaign.
Donald Trump is facing a challenge he has never faced before. RFK Jr. challenges him from the right. Trump campaigns only one day a week and spends most of his time in court, while his campaign resources are spent on legal bills.
Trump does not have the resources or ability to fend off a challenge to the voters the ex-president is trying to keep in his camp.
The same ABC poll found that up to 20% of Republicans could stop supporting Donald Trump if he is convicted of a crime.
Trump's RFK Jr. problem is turning into a crisis because if the ex-president is convicted of a crime, the voters he loses within the Republican Party can now go elsewhere, and are clearly locked into Kennedy.
