Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race and has announced his endorsement of Donald J. Trump. The decision was made public during a live press conference in Arizona on Friday, following confirmation earlier in the day through a court filing in Pennsylvania.
During his speech, Kennedy criticized the Democratic Party, lamenting its shift away from principles like free speech and support for the working class. He praised the efforts of his campaign and acknowledged the sacrifices made by his supporters.
“In an honest system, I believe I would have won the election,” Kennedy stated. He expressed frustration over what he described as an unfair election process, citing issues like biased debates, manipulated media, and partisan courts. He accused the Democratic National Committee (DNC) of using legal tactics to undermine his campaign and to remove him and other candidates from the ballot while attempting to imprison former President Trump.
