Robert Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign on Friday and endorsed President Trump. And the Democratic-media complex is falling apart.
In a statement, Kennedy outlined three main reasons for his decision: press freedom, the war in Ukraine, and what he described as “a war on our children.”
RFK will remain on the ballot in states where his presence could be detrimental to Kamala, and he will remove himself from the ballot in states where his presence could be detrimental to Trump.
“I’m going to remove my name from about 10 key states where my presence would be disruptive, and I’ve already started that process and I’m urging voters not to vote for me,” RFK Jr. said during a news conference in Phoenix on Friday.
RFK Jr. lashed out at the Democratic-media complex at a Phoenix news conference.

RFK Jr. attended President Trump’s rally in Glendale, Arizona, and the crowd went wild.
“Tonight, I am so pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible champion of so many of the values we all share. Over the past 16 months, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has run a remarkable campaign for President of the United States. Had he been able to participate in the Democratic primary, he would have defeated Joe Biden. His candidacy inspired millions of Americans, raised important issues that have been ignored for too long, and brought together people across the political spectrum in a positive campaign built on the American values of his father, Robert Kennedy, and his uncle, President Kennedy. I know they would both be very proud,” the President said.

CNN’s Erin Burnett reacts to RFK Jr.’s support for Trump.
As she read the major state polls, she realized that the numbers were real.
“The latest swing state polls show Kennedy getting 5 or 6 percent of the vote. Now, you might say that’s not a big deal… In fact, if it is, it’s a huge deal. That’s all,” Erin Burnett said.
