Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Suspends Campaign & Endorses Donald Trump

HeadlineAug 26, 2024

In U.S. campaign news, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. The two campaigned together on Friday in Arizona. Kennedy’s siblings have publicly criticized his decision. In a statement, they said, “Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated in the 1960s. On Friday, Donald Trump vowed, if elected, to launch a commission on presidential assassination attempts.

Donald Trump: “And they will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month. But I tell you, I have never had more people ask me, 'Please, sir, release the documents on the Kennedy assassination.' And we’re going to do that.”
