The independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is contemplating exiting the race, potentially aligning himself with Donald Trump. This significant political maneuver comes as Kennedy's campaign faces financial pressures and dwindling public appearances.
Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy's vice presidential candidate, indicated on the Impact Theory podcast that they might withdraw their candidacy to support Trump, aiming to mitigate the possibility of Kamala Harris ascending to the presidency. Trump has expressed admiration for Kennedy, stating he respects him and would welcome his support, suggesting a possible role in his administration.
Kennedy's campaign has been marked by challenges, including overspending and a lack of public engagement since July. Despite being approved in 23 states, he has faced disqualification in New York. Trump has previously entertained the idea of a 'Trump-Kennedy' ticket, and both candidates have reportedly discussed Kennedy's potential role in a future government. As Kennedy navigates these turbulent waters, his goals include addressing health issues and reducing corporate influence in politics.
