Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially scrapped his free-falling campaign as an Independent and endorsed Donald Trump for president.
The Kennedy scion made the announcement around lunchtime in Arizona, a key battleground state. The endorsement ends a week of speculation that he’d finally end his White House fever dream amid a spell of wonky stories, plummeting poll numbers, and a depleting campaign fund.
“I throw my support behind Donald Trump,” Kennedy said 20 minutes into his address. He urged his supporters in deep-blue states to still vote for him this fall.
