Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in a stunning political twist, announced through a Pennsylvania court filing his endorsement of Donald Trump for president. This development was disclosed ahead of Kennedy's planned speech in Arizona, where he was to discuss his future political plans.
Kennedy's independent campaign also appealed for his removal from the Pennsylvania ballot, although it remains unclear if he has officially withdrawn from the race. His unexpected collaboration with Trump—signaled by reciprocal praise and backstage discussions—has astonishingly unfolded, considering Kennedy's enduring critique of Trump and their stark political contrasts.
Kennedy's abrupt turn comes as he contends with financing woes and legal disputes, which have hampered his third-party bid since leaving the Democratic Party. His decision to join forces with Trump marks a significant shift, potentially reshaping the 2024 electoral landscape.
