PHOENIX — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign told a Pennsylvania court that he will be endorsing former President Donald Trump, ahead of his own Friday afternoon announcement putting to rest a tumultuous independent presidential campaign.
The filing in Pennsylvania, in a lawsuit related to a legal challenge to his own ballot access in the state, said that Kennedy was withdrawing from the ballot "as a result of today's endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States."

If they jail 45 then rfk and vance take orders from Riker’s and do a co presidency of sorts. Now THAT’S checkmate.
Kennedy's speech was speaking truth to power. I respect RFK Jr. for his courage.
Time for WEF to whip out those several black swan events that they know nothing about, but are promising by a certain date.
The timing is good, taking the icing off the DNC Clown show
cake.
I;m not playing word games, I’m asking a legit question..
Is he going to be an active part of the campaign working events and media to help get Trump elected, or is he just endorsing Trump and going home.
President Trump acts in America’s interest not his own. That is a servant’s heart.
I just hope Trump is chipping in for extra security for RFK Jr. I’m guessing this means no more USSS coverage, for what it’s worth.
“Both parties worried that he would be the biggest electoral spoiler in decades.”
Smart of them to worry; he would be formidable. He’s a seasoned attorney who speaks well. And even though his voice is off-putting, it almost draws you to him because you’re forced to make an effort to pay attention.
“Is he going to be an active part of the campaign working events and media to help get Trump elected, or is he just endorsing Trump and going home.”
Door number one is the correct answer.
You left off quite a bit of what RFK Jr. said regarding his support for, endorsing of and joining in the campaign of Trump.
Good insight. It’s like listening to Steven Hawking. He’s intriguing to listen to, even if you don’t agree with him. This is a whole new ball game, and Trump will play it to win, regardless of the media’s predictable tropes (”The original vaxxer and the anti-vaxxer team up”).
—> President Trump acts in America’s interest not his own. That is a servant’s heart.
Then I would reflect he has a deep desire to be altruistic, and acting consistently with that is what he believes is I his best interest.
Checkmate.

Why the </sarcasm> tag?
All true! President Truman confirmed it.
Also, did he say those exact words, or is that someone's opinion of what he said? Please clarify.
This should be top Breaking News.
I thought perhaps I lost that part due to RFJ’s gravelly voice so I read the transcript:
...snip...Furthermore our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the Battleground States I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats with whom I disagree on the most existential issues censorship war and chronic
disease.
I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign I am simply suspending it and not not ending it. My name will remain on the ballot in most states. If you live in a blue State you can vote for me without harming or helping president Trump or vice president Harris. In red States the same will apply.
I encourage you to vote for me and if enough of you do vote for me and neither of the major party candidates win 270 votes which is quite possible, in fact today our polling shows them tying at 269 to 269, I could conceivably still end up in the White House in a contingent election but in about 10 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.
It’s with a sense of Victory and not defeat that I’m suspending my campaign activities....snip...these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democrat Democratic party and and run as independent and now to throw my support to president Trump...snip...Trump says that he will reopen negotiations with President Putin and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes president. This alone would justify my support for his campaign...snip...
That is basically every mention of Trump in the speech except for a section where RFK says that Trump was interested in talking to RFK about the health care issues RFK champion and a brief mention where he hopes that Trump will carry through..snip...
we will make Americans healthy again within four years America will be a healthy country we will be stronger more resilient more optimistic and happier I won’t fail in doing this ultimately the future however it happens is in God’s hands and in the hands of the American voters and those of President Trump if president Trump is elected and
honors his word the vast burden of chronic disease that now demoralizes and bankrupts the country will disappear...
I do not find any ringing endorsement of Trump or any promise to campaign with Trump or for Trump other than “throwing my support”.
My mother said RFK Jr’s wife said she would leave him if he suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump.
How's the basement? You got cable?
