American third party candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially endorsed former President Donald Trump, marking the end of his independent bid for the presidency.
During a speech in Arizona, Kennedy criticized the Democratic Party, portraying both himself and Trump as targets of legal and political persecution. RFK whose dad and uncle were both high serving Democrat politicians is the first ever Kennedy to jump ship to the Republican Party.
Kennedy pointed to critical issues such as free speech and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine as key reasons behind his decision, asserting that Trump’s stance on these matters aligns closely with his own beliefs.
Despite facing criticism from members of his own family, Kennedy moved forward with the endorsement after several weeks of negotiations.
Significantly, Donald Trump Jr. and influential donor Omeed Malik played pivotal roles in securing Kennedy’s backing.
Kennedy also hinted at a potential role in a future Trump administration, where he would focus on addressing chronic disease by improving the nation’s food ingredients and quality, along with tackling other pressing public health issues.
