Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to give a speech in Phoenix, sparking rumors that he may drop out of the race and support Republican nominee Donald Trump. Kennedy, a longtime Democrat and member of the Kennedy dynasty, has been in talks with Trump in recent weeks. Trump has expressed interest in an endorsement from Kennedy and even suggested that he could have a role in his administration if he drops out and supports him.
Kennedy’s campaign has faced challenges, including a ruling in New York that he should not appear on the ballot due to listing a “sham” address. Despite building a strong base of support as an independent candidate, Kennedy’s momentum has waned since Democrats rallied around Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee. It is unclear where Kennedy’s support is coming from, leading to concerns from both Republican and Democratic parties.
Kennedy’s campaign finances have also been strained, and he is facing legal challenges in multiple states regarding signatures collected by his campaign. In Arizona, he may face a challenge for submitting signatures collected by a super PAC supporting him, which critics argue is illegal coordination between a candidate and an independent political group.
The news of Kennedy’s upcoming speech in Phoenix comes as he is facing multiple legal battles and struggles to secure a spot on the debate stage against Trump and Harris. Kennedy’s decision to potentially drop out and support Trump marks a significant shift for the former Democratic candidate. The outcome of Kennedy’s speech and potential support for Trump could have far-reaching implications for the presidential race.
