Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to end his presidential campaign and endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump. While RFK Jr. hasn't made an official announcement, his decision was revealed in a court filing to withdraw from the ballot in Pennsylvania.
"Respondents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan as the We The People candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, as a result of today's endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States, hereby withdraw their opposition to the Petition of Alexander Reber and Janneken Smucker's," the filing states, according to CNN.
Kennedy is expected to make a formal announcement on Friday (August 23) during a press conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Trump is hosting a rally Friday night in Glendale, which is about 20 minutes from Phoenix, and has teased there will be a "special guest."
The decision comes after Kennedy's running mate, Nicole Shanahan, admitted that their campaign had two options: stay in the race and let Kamala Harris win, or drop out and endorse Trump.
