In a surprising turn of events, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the erstwhile Independent presidential candidate for the 2024 elections, has declared his support for GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Kennedy, who recently withdrew from the race, announced his decision to actively campaign alongside the former President.
According to One America News, Kennedy made his announcement last Friday, subsequently appearing at a Trump rally in Phoenix, Arizona. During his appearance, Kennedy expressed his dissatisfaction with the treatment he received from network executives and organizers during his campaign.
"When Ross Perot ran, in the 10 months that he ran, he had 34 appearances on the networks. I had two appearances in 16 months, so I was blocked out of the networks, and I was blocked out of the debate. I had no path to victory," Kennedy lamented.
Following his announcement, Kennedy appeared on Fox, where he stated, "I'll be campaigning actively." This statement left some mainstream news correspondents and anchors perplexed.
"President Trump is going to make a series of announcements of other Democrats who are joining his campaign. And, you know, I wanna make America healthy again, and so does President Trump," Kennedy declared.
The slogan "Make America Healthy Again" has become a rallying cry for the newly formed Kennedy-Trump alliance, as they address the alarming rates of autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity, and infertility among American children.
"We are both in this to do what's right for the country," Trump affirmed, lauding Kennedy for "[raising] critical issues that have been too long ignored in this country."
Kennedy's support for Trump extends beyond the rally stage and television appearances. He has been actively promoting the Trump campaign on social media.
"'Make America Great Again' recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the worlds most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore," RFK Jr. stated.
This unexpected alliance between Kennedy and Trump, two figures from different ends of the political spectrum, has certainly added a new dimension to the 2024 presidential race. It remains to be seen how this will impact the campaign and the voting patterns of the American public.
