Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr has suspended his campaign for president and endorsed President Donald Trump.
RFK Jr filed Friday to officially have his name withdrawn from the Pennsylvania ballot “as a result of today’s endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States,” according to a brief filed by Kennedy’s campaign attorney. The candidate also filed to withdraw from Arizona Thursday evening.
RFK Jr. made the announcement from Phoenix, Arizona. WATCH:
.
(Via Politico) – […] Kennedy said that he’s suspending his campaign but remaining on the ballot in several states. He also said he was offered a role in a potential second Trump administration.
[…] “If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris, and red states the same will apply,” Kennedy said at the press conference. “But in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name.” (read more)

Really informative, somewhat depressing video. It infuriates me that “Natures Own” whole grain bread has soybean oil in it. F.U. RJ Reynolds.
I recently looked at some Old El Paso labels and most of it is made in Canada.
It’s just as Sundance said. RFKJr will not endorse Trump unless there’s something in it for him… in Trump’s 2nd Presidential Administration.
I hope Trump promised him a position with the full intent of taking it back. 🤣
Well, RFKJr could probably handle the CDC and even put a little spin on them. No more of this mandatory, force and intimidate from the Fauci’s of a Nazi medical world.
And what pray tell would that do to President Trump’s credibility, integrity and honesty?
Are you so naive that you don’t think virtually EVERYTHING in politics is transactional??
I think he’d be a hoot running the CDC 🙂
I think we found out the real story of RFK’s call to Harris to supposedly ask for a cabinet position.
Trump took the call, met with RFK and have RFK a chance to know Trump.
Harris did not.
Well, if you listened to his speech closely he said (paraphrasing) that he is 70 years old and that he might only have a decade left to be effective at doing something good. His whole tone in the second half of the speech resonated in the vibe that he has already accepted taking on our health crisis and the influence of big business in perpetuating it. It sounded like that ‘something in it for him’ has been decided.
Some think he is a poser, a charlatan … just trying to weasel into the next Trump administration to damage and sabotage it. Call me naive, but I don’t see it after this speech. A poser does not have the extent of knowledge, the statistics and the chops to articulate them like he does. A poser speaks in vague generalities because they don’t know anything but vague generalities – think Kamala. She is stupid. Facts don’t matter to Charlatans … they lie to you with bullshit and hyperbole to convince you of something that is not true – think Democrats.
For nearly an hour he dove into the all the shenanigans of Democrat corruption and censorship, he was very specific and accurate regarding our governments involvement, provocation and escalation of the Ukraine conflict dating back to 2014 and placed blame in the right places and he went in to great detail regarding corporate control (big Ag and big pharma)of our food supply and medicines and the paid off regulatory agencies that oversee things.
You just can’t fake that depth of understanding of the intricacies of those issues. I noticed he didn’t talk about guns or the environment. I’m sure that would have been cringe worthy but what he did talk about he got mostly right. He sure seems sincere about making a difference on our health issues vis a vis corporate control of it. I hope that PT lets him have at that issue.
Well put. I don’t know what goes through the mind of a candidate that runs 3rd party. They must be intelligent enough to understand that, barring some miracle, their odds of winning are astronomical. Yet, they also must convince supporters that they will be elected, otherwise, what’s the point?
When Kennedy first announced, I was convinced he fully intended to be a spoiler, and he wasn’t in it to engineer a Trump victory. As polls and analysis emerged I suspended my suspicions and weighed each turn in the campaign season regarding RFKj.
Plan A must be to win when a campaign is launched, but a strategist of Kennedy’s caliber can game out the battle in fine detail. If he knew a withdrawal was a possibility, even likely, he knew he would need to set a plan for the day. He may well have anticipated how the establishment would respond to his candidacy, and undoubtedly knows better than anyone commenting here how the game works.
Yes, the Kennedys are better than most at putting their hands on their hearts and speaking cogently about the problems to be solved while providing government as a resource for their most powerful patrons, but when was the last time we heard anyone speak directly to those problems and place the blame on both the public and private sectors while speaking to the unmentionable corruption shared by their unholy alliance?
As RFKj spoke about the treachery and lies deployed against both Trump and himself this election cycle, again with receipts, it occurred to me that were this day to come, Kennedy probably knows the players well enough to know that the actions and words of the DNC and their media droids would be self evident when he stepped up to enumerate them.
I couldn’t help thinking that the junior Kennedy just played the establishment like a concertmaster caressing their favorite Stradivarius.
Or, as Dexter of the Offspring put it, “(You’re) gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own…Hey”
So well said, skepticollie. No need to over think this.
If you read his book about Fauci and the Big Pharma industrial complex, you know he is passionate about fighting for the masses being obliterated.
RFK seems like a great man to me with tremendous courage to stand up to the biggest bullies that have walked the earth. He is not presidential. He is a warrior and understands the greatness of his uncle.
Do believe RFK would be pretty good as the Secretary of Health or similar area —He seems to know his stuff on medica–Maybe a bit radical by some standards…but
Well, yeah. That’s politics. Deals get made, hands get shaken.
Can’t see this as being anything but good for President Trump’s prospects and for the Country. Let the rotten Dem Party rot in its own juices.
Combining two campaigns also has some complexity to it. Will be interesting to see how President Trump interacts publicly with RFK. Welcoming but still always in charge.
Exactly. Zero downside. Trump needs to win. Period.
Sundance has always said “Whatever it takes”.
But I sense hesitancy TBH.
Puzzling.
Agreed
Definite hesitancy on the part of Nicole Shanahan – sounds to me like she has been commissioned to put the brakes on this – to so pollute the atmosphere – maybe even recycle the polluted atmosphere so that it can be a voter issue to get MAGA people to not vote for Trump? How many percentage points might that be worth? Then the “pollsters” will harp on that.
Is it Nicole that has “handlers” sheperding her through the process of infiltrating? She herself took the vaccine or vaccines. She was married to Sergey Brin of Google – that suppressed information that could have saved lives – how much was Sergey Brin paid by Big Pharma to do that?
IC angle or not, this has been an epic day
Another epic day! Such an amazing time to be alive! We should all write our story for our families.
Here’s a link to the video and transcript for those interested.
https://www.malone.news/p/rfk-jr-full-speech-also-as-text
being theatric and posing an image to explain a very generalization that is definitely not 100% right….
If you believe President Trump must be protected and you are constantly watching his back – you are suspect on this endorsement
if you believe President Trump can defend himself, and if he does die, the movement will still move onward – you are more open to saying give RFK a chance.
again very generalized and not 100%… just wrote it to suggest context.
I think this is good overall. In his speech he highlighted all of the crap with the democrat party that Trump cannot say.
Should RFK Jr. inhabit an important Cabinet position? Not sure. However, I know feelings don’t matter, but he talked today about serious taboo stuff and he will be imperiled by the family name; perhaps this is all a ruse, but I don’t think so. His speech absolutely railed on the democrat party and I think it a game changer. Call me naive. I am not, praying that I am wrong.
I used to be a democrat. Then I was an Independent. Now I am a MAGA Trump supporter.
It happens to the best of us.
“I used to be a democrat.”
me too but,
then they nominated Clinton.
then like millions of others……
I sucked it up and became a registered Republican.
It caused turmoil in my family.
( I also voted for Reagan)
When a friend, who was far more active in the local and state GOP than I was, told me in late 2014 that there were rumors of a Trump candidacy I laughed. I said, “How big is this guy’s ego?” He paused, with a twinkle in his eye, and said, “Trump is a lot smarter than people give him credit for.”
Good to see a comment from you, SMG
I remember saying the very same thing when Ronald Reagan was talking about running for president. “What? An actor? You’ve got to be kidding me!” What can I say? I was young.
As a hard ass MAGA supporter since 2015 I think Robert Kennedy Jr. spoke from the heart. If not then he’s a damn good liar. I pray for the former and dread the latter. I know a few medical folks (unvaccinated) who have followed him along with a chiropractor who kept me informed of his fight against vaccines. I think he is genuine in that respect.
I see him as a good FDA fit. I also wish he would have said how President Trump “trusted” his CHYNA/DOD virus team thinking they were doing what’s best for the country and then laid out how Fauci and Scarf woman lied along with the CDC and NIH.
I see this as a positive. N=1
Bobby Kennedy and JFK had more in common with Trump than modern day democrats. It seems natural to me that RFK jr would endorse president Trump. They differ on many things but are right in line on others.
Being part of the intelligence community seems far fetched considering they killed his father.
Put him over the dept of health with the intention of completely gutting it.
That was impressive. I disagree with RFK’s recollection of Democrats And I disagree with RFK in other issues but he was spot on with regards to CIA (for brevity), war, and Big Pharma.
Maybe Dr..Carson should had the CDC and RFK under Carson, in whatever position, where RFK can be the bull dog.
In other issues, I do not what RFK anywhere near to policy direction.
Also, RFK could play a role going after all the censorship and what is essentially campaign contributions to the Democrat Party.
Democrats have historically voted in a block with few defections- all the major unions, government employees, African Americans etc. have been virtual “gimmes” for the Democratic party’s at local, state, and national election times. That has changed with the radicalization of the Democratic party we’ve seen the past several years and the policies they have implemented. They are fearful.
The fact that the Dems have gone to great lengths to cut Kennedy in two suggests one of two things, neither of which is a new thought to Treepers and Sundance:
One, it’s an operation by the bad actors the MAGA movement is fighting to prevent President Trump from being re-elected; Kennedy is an operative in place to vanquish Trump.
Two, he was evaluated by the party leaders as a true threat to Harris; and was definitely one to Biden before he was overthrown. They tore through him as they did Bernie Sanders except Sanders received his payoff to cease and desist.
Interesting that he declared he’d be off the ballot in 10 toss up states. Trump and his campaign staff leads should monitor that and hold him to it. The political pros in both parties know historically that 40-42 states are pretty much predictable wins for them; they are decided. It’s the 8-10 that are fought so hard over where the electoral votes are coveted. Taking himself off the ballot might be a good thing. The cheating we saw and expect in those states is a concern (MI, AZ. WI, PA, GA,MN among others).
Let us say for argument’s sake Trump wins and offers Kennedy a position. He should place him where he gets clear and concise marching orders; and if he does not follow them he’s expeditiously fired. NO intel job, no state dept. I like what another commenter wrote – CDC. I’d direct him to dig up all the COVID ugliness and place sunlight on those past and present who perpetrated and collaborated all this evil on the American people. That would constitute holding his feet to the fire in my view.
And the President needs to have his trusted man or woman riding shotgun within that agency to keep a close eye upon Mr. Kennedy.
Agree with the back up. Trust but VERIFY
People forget that Trump put Pence in charge of the Wuhan China Virus response. Trump took the credit and will shoulder any blame, BUT Trump never mandated any shots. Warp Speed was to provide tools against a novel manmade virus as were HCQ & invermecton. Trump is not a scientist; he had to rely on others for the science, but he is a businessman and he got it produced. His then reliance on the CDC is understandable. Hindsight is 20/20.
So long as Trump appoints Kennedy to be in charge of “Making America Healthy Again”, Kennedy can only strengthen Trump’s campaign and Presidency. Keep him in his lane and out of those areas where he might detract or obstruct.
Shanahan is off script.
Only reason she even has a script is because of the influence she can buy with her ex husband’s money.
This “mandated” vaccine for public health is in Florida’s state Constitution. Check out your state.
Everything he says about the deplorable condition of our food supply and the health of our children is spot on, He didn’t dare mention the V word but you can be sure that poison is also going under the microscope. I can’t think of any more unifying message.
This will help Trump tremendously since Trump has the JD albatross.
I am pleased but remain cautious and suspicious. But if this guarantees the “swing states” and the WH for POTUS Trump, then so be it.
Kennedy is mad at the democrats Biden is mad at the Obamas and both want revenge.
I had the thought that Biden might get his old friend Clyburn to not help Kamala so much, since she is Obama’s choice.
kennedy launched on the DOJ/FBI/CIA. that might be revenge, but it sounded more like he is of the realization we are on the brink ofbig trouble if the 4th branch of government isn’t taken out. he also broached the facts that this woman and her cabal will get us nuked. he is in it to make a difference, now. maybe not in the past., but now he see’s big time danger in the world. vote for abortion and get nuked. what a choice.
He wrote The Real Anthony Fauci.
Neither Trump nor him are under any illusions about complete agreement.
Let him bring his voters.
This is a very important endorsement and partnership.
We’ll see what happens.

We are living in a very “sick” society! Well done video by Robert Kennedy jr. finally the truth is coming out! actually the truth has been coming out for decades however, anyone promoting the truth continued for years to be shut down. I have been fighting these three letters agencies for years! They must be shut down! I was not raised on fast foods or prepared school meals. my Father grew a huge garden and my mom packed our lunches daily and I will forever be grateful for that! We lilve in a nation that pushes drugs always has from what I can remember. Big money in drugs! I could never wrap my head around all the children at the Danny Thomas sponsored hospital or the Ronald MacDonald house in Stanford, Ca run by Standford Hospital . I used to ask myself “how could so many children be so ill”?
