RFK Jr. to End Campaign, Endorse Trump

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly considering ending his campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump, with an official announcement expected at a Phoenix event on Friday. Kennedy's running mate, Nicole Shanahan, and campaign director, Amaryllis Fox, have both hinted at the possibility of suspending the campaign, citing sabotage by the Democratic Party and the risk of drawing more votes away from Trump than from Kamala Harris. Trump and his allies, including his son Donald Trump Jr. and Tucker Carlson, have been actively lobbying Kennedy to support Trump. Trump has expressed openness to including Kennedy in his administration if he endorses him. The decision comes amid a backdrop of Kennedy's campaign struggling to gain traction and facing controversies, including his vaccine skepticism and environmental activism.
