RFK Jr. Vows to End Wars and Seed Oils

In a press conference held in Phoenix, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his campaign in ten key battleground states, urging his supporters to cast their votes for former President Donald Trump. Kennedy expressed his belief that he would have won the election in a fair system, attributing his campaign's struggles to media and government censorship, as well as the Democratic Party's legal maneuvers aimed at keeping him off the ballot. Despite their significant ideological differences, Kennedy identified Trump as the better candidate on three critical issues: free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the welfare of children. Speculation about Kennedy's potential endorsement of Trump had been growing, particularly after his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, suggested that stepping back could mitigate the risk of a Kamala Harris presidency. Trump responded positively, indicating he would consider appointing Kennedy to a role in his administration. Kennedy's campaign, characterized by his opposition to COVID-19 mandates and skepticism towards vaccines and pharmaceuticals, attracted a diverse group of supporters. However, as the election progressed, many of his backers from various political backgrounds returned to the two major parties. Additionally, controversies surrounding his personal life may have further diminished his campaign's viability. Kennedy confirmed that his name would remain on the ballot in both red and blue states, encouraging supporters to vote for him as a last stand against what he described as Democratic subversion and the influence of large agricultural and pharmaceutical companies on children.
