Former President Trump thanked RFK Jr. on Friday for his support after the former Democrat said in a news conference earlier that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump.
Former President Trump on Friday, while speaking at a restaurant in Las Vegas, thanked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for his endorsement minutes after the third-party candidate said he was suspending his campaign because he didn’t want to 'be a spoiler.' 'We just had a very nice endorsement from RFK Jr, Bobby,' Trump said at Il Toro E La Capra eatery just off the Vegas Strip, where he addressed restaurant workers and other supporters.
Jr. endorsed Trump just minutes before the former president began speaking in Las Vegas, saying during a scheduled press conference in Glendale that he planned to stay off the ballot in red and blue states, so people could vote for him there, but remove his name from battleground states. 'Three causes drove me to enter this race in the first place.
Harris' campaign reached out to RFK Jr. supporters in a statement to Fox News on Friday. 'For any American out there who is tired of Donald Trump and looking for a new way forward, ours is a campaign for you. In order to deliver for working people and those who feel left behind, we need a leader who will fight for you, not just for themselves, and bring us together, not tear us apart. Vice President Harris wants to earn your support.
