RFK Jr. Joins Trump Rally After Suspending His Campaign

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made an appearance Friday at an Arizona rally supporting former President Donald Trump after ending his independent presidential campaign.

The rally, held at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, saw Kennedy receive a warm reception from the crowd, chanting his name. Trump praised Kennedy for his campaign efforts, acknowledging the challenges posed by his candidacy and commending the breadth of issues he brought to the forefront of American political discourse, according to the New York Post.

His candidacy has inspired millions and millions of Americans, raised critical issues that have been too long ignored in this country and brought together people from across the political spectrum in a positive campaign grounded in the American values of his father, Robert Kennedy, a great man, and his uncle, President John F Kennedy,” Trump said. “And I know that they are looking down right now, and they are very, very proud of Bobby. I’m proud of Bobby.”

Kennedy’s speech at the rally as he endorses Trump emphasized shared goals and also echoed Trump’s commitments to avoid foreign wars, fight censorship and protect American freedoms against rising authoritarianism.
