“In my heart, I no longer believe I have a realistic path to an electoral victory,” Mr Kennedy said.
Independent candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has suspended his presidential campaign and announced his support for Republican Party candidate, Donald Trump.
Mr Kennedy, in a live broadcast on Friday, announced the suspension of his presidential campaign, stating that he would “now throw his support to President Trump.”
“In my heart, I no longer believe I have a realistic path to an electoral victory,” Mr Kennedy said. “I am not terminating my campaign. I am simply suspending it.”
Mr Kennedy’s endorsement of Mr Trump comes less than 24 hours after Kamala Harris emerged as the Democratic Party presidential candidate during their convention.
