Democrat turned independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on Friday suspended his campaign.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on Friday dropped his White House bid and announced support for former President Donald Trump, issuing broadsides against the Democratic Party's handling of the primary election and media censorship. Kennedy said in Phoenix that the Democratic Party of 'waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself,' and 'ran a sham primary.
Kennedy launched his long-shot campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in April of last year, but last October the 70-year-old candidate switched to an independent run for the White House. While Kennedy had long identified as a Democrat and repeatedly invoked his late father Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and his uncle President John F. Kennedy, who were both assassinated in the 1960s, Kennedy in recent years built relationships with far-right leaders. Kennedy repeatedly invoked his father and uncle Friday in Phoenix.
If he endorsed me, I would be honored by it. I would be very honored by it. He really has his heart in the right place,' Trump said on Thursday in an interview on 'Fox & Friends.' And the former president's running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, said Wednesday in an interview on 'Fox & Friends' that he hoped Kennedy 'endorses the president, gets on the team, because this is about saving the country.
