RFK Jr ends US presidential campaign, endorses Trump


                                              Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorses Donald Trump for U.S. President 

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abandoned his campaign on Friday and endorsed Republican Donald Trump, ending a campaign that began as a Democrat that relied on one of the most recognizable names in American politics.

Hours after announcing his endorsement at a press conference, Kennedy joined Trump at a campaign event in Arizona, where the crowd cheered loudly for the independent. "His candidacy inspired millions and millions of Americans, he raised critical issues that have been ignored for too long in this country," Trump said of Kennedy.

Strategists said it was unclear whether Kennedy's support would help Trump, who is in a tight race with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the Nov. 1 presidential election. 5. Kennedy, 70, said in a press conference that he met several times with Trump and his advisers and that they agreed on issues such as border security, freedom of speech and the end of wars "There are still many problems and approaches on which we still have very serious differences. But we agree on other key issues," he told reporters. 

He repeated a lot when he joined Trump at the Arizona rally and reiterated his positions on his main issues such as the fight against chronic diseases and the elimination of dangerous chemicals in the environment and food. In Kennedy's presence, the former president said that if he returned to the White House, he would create a presidential commission on assassination attempts and release files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, known by his initials RFK Jr. will remove his name from the votes in 10 key states that could determine the outcome of the election and remain a candidate in other states. 

An environmental lawyer, anti-vaccine activist and the son and grandson of two titans of Democratic politics killed during the turbulent 1960s, Kennedy entered the race in April 2023 as President Joe Biden's challenger for the Democratic nomination. . With some voters at the time turned off by an aging Biden and a legally challenged Trump, interest in Kennedy has grown. He then decided to run as an independent, and a Reuters/Ipsos poll in November 2023 showed Kennedy enjoying 20% ​​of the vote in a three-way race with Biden and Trump. He aired a high-profile ad during the February 2024 Super Bowl that named his father, U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, President Kennedy, and sparked outrage among many of his family.
