After the withdrawal of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the race for the 2024 U.S. presidential election is heating up with five candidates left vying for the presidency. The political landscape is dominated by former President Donald Trump (Republican Party) and Vice President Kamala Harris (Democratic Party), while several third-party candidates are also in the mix, including Jill Stein (Green Party), Chase Oliver (Libertarian Party), and Cornel West (Independent).
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his suspension from the presidential race, citing a lack of realistic chances to win. He has decided to support Donald Trump in ten key swing states, while still remaining on the ballot in others. His endorsement has raised questions about how his supporters will impact the election, as polls suggest his backing could be crucial in tight races. Kennedy's shift has drawn criticism from his family, who have expressed their disapproval and pledged support for Harris instead.
Kamala Harris, who secured the Democratic nomination after Joe Biden's withdrawal, is focusing on uniting the party and appealing to a diverse voter base. Despite the challenges posed by Kennedy's endorsement of Trump, Harris remains optimistic about her campaign. With the first debate approaching, both Trump and Harris are preparing for a fierce battle in the upcoming election, which is set for November 5.
