RFK Jr. endorses Trump and suspends presidential campaign

SUMMARY

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.

The announcement was made in a Pennsylvania court filing. Kennedy stated that he no longer believes he has a "realistic path to electoral victory" and doesn't want to burden his team or donors.

He cited free speech, the Ukraine war, and children's issues as reasons for his decision to support Trump. Kennedy indicated he would remain on the ballot in many states but would withdraw in battleground states to avoid being a spoiler. Despite his endorsement, he left open the possibility of a contingent election scenario.
