Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ends Presidential Campaign, Backs Donald Trump
Kennedy Cites Trump's Anti-War and Pro-American Stance
RFK Jr., the son of the late U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, has withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race and thrown his support behind former President Donald Trump.
Kennedy made the announcement in a statement on his website, saying he had "come to the difficult decision" to end his campaign.
He cited Trump's "strong leadership" and his commitment to ending the "forever wars" as reasons for his endorsement.
Kennedy's Endorsement Bolsters Trump's Campaign
Kennedy's endorsement is a significant boost to Trump's campaign, which has been gaining momentum in recent weeks.
It also comes as Trump faces increasing pressure from within his own party, with several prominent Republicans calling for him to drop out of the race.
Kennedy's Campaign Platform
In his statement, Kennedy outlined the key points of his campaign platform, including:
- Ending the forever wars
- Cleaning up government
- Increasing wealth for all Americans
Kennedy also pledged to "tell the truth" and "fight for the American people."
Kennedy's Fact-Checks
During his campaign, Kennedy made several controversial statements that were later fact-checked by PolitiFact.
PolitiFact found that six of Kennedy's claims were either false or mostly false.
Kennedy's Withdrawal from the Race
Kennedy's withdrawal from the race leaves the Democratic field with a number of high-profile candidates, including Vice President Kamala Harris, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
It remains to be seen how Kennedy's endorsement will impact Trump's campaign and the overall trajectory of the 2024 presidential race.
