From NBC News:
The decision to drop out will end the most prominent third-party candidacy in the 2024 race.
Kennedy announced Wednesday that he will give a campaign speech addressing “his path forward,” days after his running mate said the campaign faced a choice about staying in the 2024 election or dropping out to back Donald Trump.
Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate, said Tuesday that the ticket is weighing two options right now. One is to stay in the race and “risk” a Harris-Walz presidency, as she put it in a podcast interview, while the other option was to drop out of the race and “join forces” with Trump.
Both Kennedy and Trump have announced events in the Phoenix area this Friday. It was just last week that Kennedy was reportedly looking for a meeting with VP Kamala Harris in hopes of a spot in her administration. And to think his uncle was President John F. Kennedy… #SMH
If RFK Jr. endorses Trump, it will demonstrate he doesn’t care anything about climate change, clean air and water, women’s freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. Just one disingenuous conspiracy-theory-monger joining forces with another. A sad ending to a once noble brand. pic.twitter.com/K7TTLQhO2t
