At a press conference held in Phoenix today, independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Junior made a surprising announcement. He declared that he will be suspending his campaign and throwing his support behind President Trump. Kennedy explained that he believes he no longer has a realistic chance of winning due to the constant censorship and media control that he has faced throughout his campaign.
"It breaks my heart to admit that I cannot continue to ask my hardworking staff and volunteers to keep pushing for a victory that seems unattainable," Kennedy stated. "Nor can I continue to ask my generous donors to keep contributing when I cannot confidently assure them that we have a real shot at the White House."
Kennedy went on to explain that there were three main reasons that led him to enter the race as an independent candidate, and these same reasons have now convinced him to endorse President Trump. This decision comes on the heels of a court filing in Pennsylvania, in which Kennedy withdrew his challenge for ballot access, citing his endorsement of Trump as the reason.
The filing read, "Respondents Robert F Kennedy Junior and Nicole Shanahan, as the We The People candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, hereby withdraw their opposition to the Petition of Alexander Reber and Janneken Smucker's, as a result of today's endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States."
Earlier today, Kennedy's campaign had denied any plans to endorse Trump, and the attorney who made the filing had admitted to "misstating" Kennedy's intentions. However, Kennedy made it clear during his press conference that he fully supports Trump and has been in discussions with him about joining forces.
Kennedy shared that Trump had personally approached him on two separate occasions, first just days after the assassination attempt on the former president in July, and then again a few weeks later. "In those meetings, he proposed that we unite as a party, despite our differences," Kennedy revealed. "He referenced Abraham Lincoln's team of rivals and suggested that we could work together on the issues that we agree upon while respectfully disagreeing on others."
Meanwhile, Trump is currently in Arizona, where he is set to hold a rally. His campaign has been teasing the appearance of a "special guest," leading many to believe that it may be Kennedy himself. It seems that the former president's offer to enlist Kennedy in his administration has now come to fruition. Only time will tell how this endorsement will impact the upcoming election, but for now, Kennedy has made his support for Trump loud and clear.
