Robert Kennedy Jr. stopped campaigning on Friday to endorse President Trump, and the Democratic Party-media complex is crumbling.
In a statement, Kennedy cited three main factors that led to his decision: freedom of speech, the war in Ukraine, and the “war on children.”
RFK will remain on the ballot in states where his presence would be detrimental to Kamala, and will remove himself from the ballot in states where his presence would be detrimental to Trump.
“I’m going to remove my name in about 10 battleground states where my presence would jeopardize the vote. I’ve already started that process and am urging voters not to vote for me,” RFK Jr. said at a news conference in Phoenix on Friday.
RFK Jr. delivered a complete diatribe against the Democratic Party/media complex at a press conference in Phoenix.

RFK Jr. later attended a rally for Trump in Glendale, Arizona, where the crowd went wild.
“Tonight, I am thrilled to welcome back a man who has been a tremendous advocate for many of the values ​​we share. Over the past 16 months, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has run an extraordinary campaign for President of the United States. Had he been allowed to run in the Democratic Primary, he would have defeated Joe Biden. His candidacy inspired millions of Americans, raised important issues that had long been ignored and rallied people across the political spectrum behind a forward-thinking campaign based on the American values ​​of his father, Robert Kennedy, and his uncle, President Kennedy. I know they would both be very proud,” President Trump said.

CNN’s Erin Burnett responded to RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump.
She read the battleground state polls and understood what the numbers meant.
“The latest battleground state polls have Kennedy getting 5 to 6 percent of the vote. Some people might say that’s not a big deal, but if it is, that’s huge. It means everything,” Erin Burnett said.
