Kennedy's Potential Endorsement of Trump: A Political Shake-Up

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering dropping out of the U.S. presidential race to endorse Donald Trump in exchange for a potential role in a Trump administration. Kennedy wants his political movement to continue and is discussing these plans with Trump. His campaign will address the nation on Friday in Arizona.

Independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly negotiating a deal with Donald Trump, where he would endorse the Republican contender in exchange for a job in a potential Trump administration, according to a super PAC supporting Kennedy. Kennedy's campaign plans to address the nation on Friday in Arizona, discussing the current political landscape and his future plans.

Kennedy may exit the election and back Trump if the Republican offers him and his associates positions in the White House, Larry Sharpe from American Values 2024 told Reuters. Trump indicated to CNN that he would consider having Kennedy in his administration if the independent candidate drops out and supports him.

Kennedy also hopes Trump will allow his political movement to persist, potentially keeping him on the ballot in some states. This comes as Kennedy's campaign faces challenges, with support dropping to 4% in a recent Ipsos poll. The Kennedy campaign has not commented on these developments but plans to reveal more during Friday's speech.
