Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

RFK Expected to Drop Out, Endorse Trump

HeadlineAug 22, 2024

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is widely expected to drop out of the presidential race Friday and endorse Donald Trump. RFK Jr. is addressing his supporters from Phoenix Friday; Trump is also scheduled to be in Arizona then. RFK Jr. initially launched his campaign as a Democratic challenger to Biden before running as an independent, but recent reports say he courted both Harris and Trump for a future job. On Tuesday, Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John F. Kennedy and cousin to RFK Jr., addressed the DNC and declared his support for the Harris-Walz ticket.
