Kennedy said he was suspending his campaign and backing the former Republican president for the White House
Kennedy said he met with Trump and his aides several times and learned they agreed on issues like border security, free speech and ending wars.
“In about ten battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name, and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me.” Kennedy first entered the 2024 presidential race as a Democrat but left the party last autumn to run as an independent.He built an unusually strong base for a third-party bid, fuelled in part by anti-establishment voters and vaccine sceptics who have followed him since the pandemic.
For a time, both the Biden and Trump campaigns showed signs they were worried that Kennedy could draw enough support to change the election outcome. A year ago, some would have thought it inconceivable that Kennedy would work with Trump to keep a Democrat out of the White House.
