Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a Pennsylvania court filing that he will endorse former President Donald Trump after he makes his much-anticipated announcement Friday that he was dropping out of the 2024 race for the White House, according to the Associated Press.
Kennedy, 70, made the announcement just days after speculation started swirling that he planned to axe his campaign and endorse former President Donald Trump instead.
He was apparently influenced by talks between Trump allies and his team, as well as being snubbed by Democrats throughout the campaign, sources had earlier told The Post.
Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, had also hinted earlier this week of possibly dropping out to “join forces” with Trump in a bid to stop Vice President Kamala Harris from winning.
Shortly after the revelation, Trump declared he’d be “honored” to have Kennedy’s backing.
Trump, 78, had reportedly met with Kennedy in Milwaukee last month, on the first day of the Republican National Convention, in an effort to gain his endorsement.
The Harris campaign, meanwhile, is said to rebuffed overtures to meet with him.
The post RFK Jr. to endorse Trump after he officially suspends 2024 campaign appeared first on New York Post.
