Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, potentially giving Trump a boost in the race. At a rally in Arizona, Kennedy explained that his decision was driven by concerns about free speech, the war in Ukraine, and issues affecting children. He also stated that his presence in the race would likely hurt Trump and benefit Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, prompting him to remove his name from the ballot in key states.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clarified that while he endorsed Donald Trump, he isn’t fully ending his presidential bid. He plans to stay on the ballot in most states where his support won’t significantly impact the election. He has begun withdrawing his candidacy in a few states, but it’s too late to do so in key battlegrounds. Kennedy’s decision came after discussions with Trump, with hints of a possible role in Trump’s administration if Trump wins. Despite initial confusion from his campaign, Kennedy officially endorsed Trump during a rally, where he received a warm welcome from the crowd.
At a Phoenix event, Casey Westerman, a Kennedy supporter, said she would back Trump if Kennedy endorsed him, trusting Kennedy’s judgment. Kennedy initially ran as a Democrat but switched to an independent campaign, gaining support from anti-establishment and vaccine-skeptic voters. However, he faced financial and legal challenges. In Las Vegas, Alida Roberts expressed relief at Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump, seeing it as a sign of distrust in the current Democratic Party. Recent polls show Kennedy’s support is low, and his continued candidacy might hurt Trump more than Harris.
