Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Suspends Presidential Campaign, Endorses Trump

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. halted his independent presidential bid and endorsed Donald Trump, citing internal polls showing his campaign could harm Trump and benefit Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Kennedy's move, driven by issues like free speech and the Ukraine war, has caused tension within his famed political family.

In a significant political turn, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his independent campaign for president and endorsed former President Donald Trump. Kennedy stated that his internal polls suggested his presence in the race could hurt Trump and help Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Kennedy emphasized that free speech, the war in Ukraine, and "a war on our children" were key factors in his decision. He will be removing his name from ballots in battleground states while continuing his support for Trump.

Despite withdrawing his candidacy in certain states like Arizona and Pennsylvania, Kennedy's actions have ignited backlash from both his family and supporters. Talks between Kennedy and Trump suggest a potential alliance aimed at limiting Harris' chances for the presidency.
