Robert F Kennedy Jr has dropped out of the presidential race and has openly declared his support of Donald Trump.
In turn, Trump has promised to release all remaining documents relating to the 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy if he is elected.
Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris expressed a desire to win over Kennedy’s supporters, as Kennedy was running as a democrat.
Kennedy initially did fairly well in electoral polls at around 15%, but recently plummeted with Harris’s newfound success.
Kerry Kennedy, his sister, said his support for Trump was a “betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.”
RFK in turn told reporters that Trump’s insistence he could end the war in Ukraine by negotiating with Russia is in itself enough for him to endorse Trump.
He said he would remove his name from 10 states where his presence would be a “spoiler” to Trump’s effort, reports the BBC. He has already withdrawn from the battleground states of Arizona and Pennsylvania- but it is too late for him to pull out from the swing states of Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.
RFK says that the democrat party has “become the party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big money”, and cited media control as the main reason for his quitting now.
Kennedy is known for his adherence to the anti-vaccine movement.
