Donald Trump received an official endorsement from Robert F Kennedy Jr on Friday, settling speculation after several days. Visibly present at the rally were both Trump and Robert.
Earlier before the function, there was a notice by the Trump campaign that a ‘special guest’ was going to attend the Glendale function. Ultimately, Robert F Kennedy himself was that special guest.
During the rally in a suburb of Phoenix Donald Trump called upon RFK Jr on stage praising him for running “a phenomenal campaign”. When Kennedy showed up in this event, there were significant changes between him and Trump who had been previously criticizing each other.
The crowd started chanting as Kennedy appeared onstage with Trump and he simply said “Bobby!”
According to NBC News, Trump recognized Kennedy’s impact on his candidacy saying, “With all those votes he was getting, he has a lot of votes that he could have gotten … I think he’s going to have a huge influence on this campaign.” He added that in case of re-elections, they would establish an assassination commission for RFK senior and JFK who lost their lives over 50 years ago.
The records pertaining to the last US president’s assassination back in 1963 which were not released under Trump will form part of its agenda if established.
Robert mentioned some shared interests with Donald while speaking about why Americans should vote for him: “Don’t you want a president that’s going to make America healthy again?” For example, “having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic.” His presidential campaign suspended earlier because he is an anti-vaccine activist popularly known.
Looking at it from where they stood before today The bond between Kennedy and Trump marks a new beginning.
He announced recently,” My name is being pulled out of ballots in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler.” But he requested voters from regions where his name will remain on ballots to still elect him during the fall season.
Nevertheless, he made it clear that the campaign was not officially over and that his followers should consider him in all but a few states where their votes are not consequential.
By late this week, Kennedy had moved to cancel his candidacy in at least two states, namely Arizona and Pennsylvania. However, election officials in Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin expressed if he were to ask them again today; it would be too late to remove his name from ballots.
Kennedy listed three issues among others which made him want to remove his name from battleground states’ ballots: Free speech; Ukrainian war; ‘War on our children.’ He further revealed they constituted what made him quit the Democratic Party as well as run independently before endorsing President Trump now.
