By Ismail Shakil and Stephanie Kelly
In a surprising turn of events, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has decided to suspend his campaign and throw his support behind Republican Donald Trump. This announcement comes as a major blow to his supporters and marks the end of a campaign that began with high hopes and aspirations.
Kennedy's decision to drop out of the race was based on his belief that staying in would harm Trump's chances against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. As the election date approaches, Kennedy felt it was necessary to step aside and ensure that Trump had a clear path to victory.
Known for his environmental activism and controversial views on vaccines, Kennedy entered the race as a challenger to President Joe Biden before pivoting to run as an independent. His campaign initially gained traction due to dissatisfaction with both Biden and Trump, but as the race evolved, Kennedy's popularity waned.
Despite securing positions on key state ballots, Kennedy's national support dwindled to just 4% in a recent poll. His decision to endorse Trump was met with mixed reactions, with some speculating that he was angling for a role in a potential Trump administration.
Throughout his campaign, Kennedy positioned himself as a political outsider with bold policy proposals, including repealing parts of Biden's legislation and tightening border security. His alliance with Trump has raised eyebrows among his supporters and critics alike.
With Kennedy's exit from the race, the political landscape has shifted once again. As the countdown to the election continues, the impact of his endorsement on Trump's campaign remains to be seen.
