RFK Jr. Suspends Campaign, Endorses Trump

News summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump, citing his belief that his candidacy would inadvertently aid Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Kennedy's decision has sparked controversy, including criticism from his own family who labeled it a 'sad ending to a sad story.' Kennedy, who initially ran as a Democrat before switching to an independent bid, plans to remove his name from ballots in battleground states. His endorsement of Trump is rooted in shared concerns about free speech, the war in Ukraine, and what he calls a 'war on our children.' The move could provide a modest boost to Trump's campaign, though experts like Larry Sabato argue that Kennedy's remaining supporters may not necessarily shift their support to Trump. Meanwhile, Harris' campaign is actively reaching out to Kennedy's supporters, asserting their vision for a new direction for America.
