Democrat turned independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on Friday will endorse former President Donald Trump, his campaign said in a Friday court filing.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in a Friday court filing that he will endorse former President Donald Trump, The Associated Press reports. The Kennedy campaign asked Pennsylvania to remove him from the ballot in the court filing, according to the AP.
Kennedy launched his long-shot campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in April of last year, but last October the 70-year-old candidate switched to an independent run for the White House. While Kennedy had long identified as a Democrat and repeatedly invoked his late father Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and his uncle President John F. Kennedy, who were both assassinated in the 1960s, Kennedy in recent years built relationships with far-right leaders. President Biden's campaign and the Democratic National Committee for months repeatedly slammed Kennedy as a potential spoiler whose supporters could hand Trump a presidential election victory in November.
If he endorsed me, I would be honored by it. I would be very honored by it. He really has his heart in the right place,' Trump said on Thursday in an interview on 'Fox & Friends.' And the former president's running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, said Wednesday in an interview on 'Fox & Friends' that he hoped Kennedy 'endorses the president, gets on the team, because this is about saving the country.
