RFK Jr. Withdraws from Presidential Race, Endorses Donald Trump

 


In a surprising turn of events, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced  that he is officially dropping out of the 2024 U.S. presidential race. The environmental lawyer and vaccine critic, who had been running as an independent candidate, made the announcement during a press conference in New York City. 


Kennedy, who had initially garnered attention for his stance on public health policies and his criticism of the Biden administration, stunned supporters by endorsing former President Donald Trump. “After careful consideration and reflection on the current political landscape, I believe the best path forward for our country is to unite behind Donald Trump,” Kennedy stated.




Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump is expected to shake up the 2024 race, as his support base includes both disaffected Democrats and independents. Political analysts speculate that this move could consolidate the anti-establishment vote and significantly impact the dynamics of the upcoming election.


Trump, who is leading the Republican field, welcomed the endorsement, calling it “a tremendous honor” and emphasizing that Kennedy’s support will help “Make America Great Again.”


The withdrawal marks the end of what many saw as a unique and unconventional campaign, though Kennedy’s influence on the election may continue to resonate through his endorsement of Trump.
