Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly ending his campaign and considering endorsing former President Donald Trump. Kennedy is planning on making an announcement on Friday in Phoenix, where Trump is also scheduled to speak. Kennedy has been in discussions with Trump since July and may endorse him, according to reports. His campaign had previously reached out to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris about potentially endorsing her in exchange for a cabinet position, but the offer was declined. Despite polling at only 4%, Kennedy’s campaign believes his endorsement could give a significant boost to the candidate he supports. Kennedy’s running mate Nicole Shanahan has mentioned the possibility of forming a new party or joining forces with Trump. Kennedy’s campaign manager has stated that multiple options are on the table and Kennedy is carefully considering his next steps. Trump has expressed that he would be honored if Kennedy endorsed him and would be open to having Kennedy participate in his administration. Kennedy’s decision to potentially end his campaign and endorse Trump reflects his deep consideration of the current political landscape and his desire to have a positive impact on the country.
