In the briefing he gave, he said was not "ending" his campaign, he was "suspending" it. His name will still be on the ballot in several states and people can still vote for him

You left off quite a bit of what RFK Jr. said regarding his support for, endorsing of and joining in the campaign of Trump.

If that be the case, then wouldn't that be a conflict of interest?

Also, did he say those exact words, or is that someone's opinion of what he said? Please clarify.

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”.
