RFK Expected to Drop Out, Endorse Trump

HeadlineAug 22, 2024

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is widely expected to drop out of the presidential race Friday and endorse Donald Trump. RFK Jr. is addressing his supporters from Phoenix Friday; Trump is also scheduled to be in Arizona then. RFK Jr. initially launched his campaign as a Democratic challenger to Biden before running as an independent, but recent reports say he courted both Harris and Trump for a future job. On Tuesday, Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John F. Kennedy and cousin to RFK Jr., addressed the DNC and declared his support for the Harris-Walz ticket.
