Robert Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign on Friday and approved President Trump and the Democratic media complex are collapsing.
Kennedy, in his statement, cited three main reasons for his decision: free speech, the war in Ukraine and what he called “a war on our children.”
RFK will remain on the ballot in states where his presence will hurt Kamala, and will withdraw from the ballot in states where his presence will hurt Trump.
“In about 10 swing states where my presence would be a spoiler, I'm going to take my name off the ballot. And I've already started that process and I'm urging voters not to vote for me,” RFK Jr. said during a news conference in Phoenix on Friday.
RFK Jr. completely tore apart the Democrat-media complex during his press conference in Phoenix.

RFK Jr. then joined President Trump at his rally in Glendale, Arizona, and the crowd went wild.
“I am very pleased tonight to welcome a man who has been an incredible champion of so many of these values that we all share. Over the last 16 months, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., ran an extraordinary campaign for President of the United States. Had he been allowed to run in the Democratic primary, he would have defeated Joe Biden. His candidacy inspired millions of Americans, raised important issues that had been ignored for too long, and united people from across the political spectrum in a positive campaign based on the American values of his father, Robert Kennedy, and his uncle, President Kennedy. I believe they would both be very proud,” President Trump said.

CNN's Erin Burnett reacts to RFK Jr.'s support for Trump.
The numbers came to her while studying polling results in swing states.
“The latest polls in the swing states show Kennedy with 5 or 6 percent of the vote. Now you might say that doesn't really matter… Actually, if that's the case, that's HUGE – that's it,” Erin Burnett said.
