Speaking in Phoenix, Arizona, RFK Jr. announced he would be suspending his campaign and endorsing Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump. Before taking the podium, RFK Jr. announced the news in a Pennsylvania court filing.

Trump is expected to visit Glendale, Arizona later in the evening for a campaign rally, and has announced a "special guest" would be joining him Friday night.

The scheduled remarks by Kennedy, a son of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and a nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, come as his campaign’s momentum has slipped.

Kennedy Jr. first entered the 2024 presidential race as a Democrat but left the party last fall to run as an independent. He built an unusually strong base for a third-party bid, fueled in part by anti-establishment voters and vaccine skeptics who have followed his anti-vaccine work since the COVID-19 pandemic. But he has since faced strained campaign finances and mounting legal challenges, including a recent ruling from a New York judge that he should not appear on the ballot in the state because he listed a "sham" address on nominating petitions.
