Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made an announcement on Friday, August 23, that he will not be running for president.
While addressing a crowd in Arizona, the independent candidate went hard on the Democratic Party and the traditional press while also communicating his support for Republican Party candidate Donald Trump.
Kennedy, who is 70 years old, said that he found that Trump, who is 78 years old, and he are “aligned with each other” on a number of issues, like “securing the border, protecting freedom of speech” and stopping Democrats from allegedly interfering with campaigns.
RFK guaranteed that the Democratic Party had become part of war, censorship, corruption, big Pharma, big tech, among other allegations. He didn’t spare the media too. He slammed the media and said they practiced “censorship.”
In 2023, the former Democrat left the party and became an independent candidate for president.
Kennedy again accused President Joe Biden of “mocking” Russian president Vladimir Putin, whom he says he does not excuse from the invasion of Ukraine, and claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris refused to meet with him.
RFK Jr. also claimed that the Democratic Party had set itself to dismantling democracy. He also accused Democrats of breaking voting rules and claiming that they had perpetuated “censorship” in the United States.
Kennedy explained,
“In my heart, I no longer believe that I have a realistic path to electoral victory. I cannot in good conscience ask my staff and volunteers to keep working their long hours or ask my donors to keep giving when I cannot honestly tell them that I have a real path to the White House.”
Kennedy, however, clarified that he was suspending rather than terminating his campaign, noting that he is going to take away his name in about 10 battleground states.
In addition, he stated that he has already started the process of doing so and that voters in those states could support him without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris.
