On Friday, Robert Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his campaign and threw his support behind President Trump. The Democrat-media complex is in uproar over this move.
In a statement, Kennedy cited three main reasons for his decision: the importance of free speech, the conflict in Ukraine, and what he perceives as a threat to our children.
RFK plans to remain on the ballot in states where his candidacy could negatively impact Kamala, while withdrawing from states where his presence might harm Trump.
“In about 10 battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name. And I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me,” RFK Jr. said during a presser in Phoenix on Friday.
RFK Jr. absolutely torched the Democrat-media complex during his Phoenix presser.

RFK Jr. then joined President Trump at his Glendale, Arizona rally and the crowd went wild.
“Tonight, I am very pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible champion for so many of these values we all share. For the past 16 months, Robert F. Kennedy Junior has run an extraordinary campaign for president of the United States. Had he been allowed to enter the Democrat primary, he would have beaten Joe Biden. His candidacy has inspired millions of Americans, raised critical issues that have been too-long ignored, and brought together people from across the political spectrum in a positive campaign grounded in the American values of his father, Robert Kennedy, and his uncle, President Kennedy. I believe they would both be very proud,” President Trump said.

Erin Burnett of CNN was taken aback by RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump. The significance of the swing state polls hit her as she read through the numbers.
“The latest swing state polls show Kennedy with 5 or 6 percent of the vote. Now you might say, that’s not a big deal… Actually, if that’s the case, it is HUGE — it is everything,” Erin Burnett said.
