most likely put Kamala second and his votes would go to her. It’s starting to make sense to me now.
Anyway polls show Kamala would be more likely to win if it was a RCV election. There are many that do not want DonOLD to win including Publicans that would vote 3rd party than him. Those votes would go to her.
