RFK Jr. officially suspends 2024 campaign and endorses Trump in Pennsylvania court filing | 23 Aug 2024 | Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made his much-anticipated announcement Friday that he was dropping out of the 2024 race for the White House -- and said in a Pennsylvania court filing that he will endorse former President Donald Trump. Kennedy, 70, made the announcement just days after speculation started swirling that he planned to axe his campaign and endorse former President Donald Trump instead. He was influenced by talks between Trump allies and his team, as well as being snubbed by Democrats throughout the campaign, sources had earlier told The Post. In a speech Friday, he criticized the unprecedented events of the 2024 election so far, slamming Democrats for installing Harris without her appearing in a primary.
