At Rally, RFK Jr. Says He’ll Stop Forever Wars, Seed Oils From Trump’s Cabinet
“In an honest system, I believe I would have won the election,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said at a press conference in Phoenix today, where he announced he would be suspending his campaign in 10 battleground states. He urged his supporters in those states to vote instead for former President Donald Trump.
Kennedy blamed media and government censorship for suppressing his campaign message and attacked the Democratic Party’s legal efforts to keep him off the ballot.
While the two men still had major disagreements, Kennedy said that Trump would be the superior candidate on his three major, “existential” issues of “free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on our children.”
In a long, wide-ranging speech, Kennedy reiterated many of the heterodox concerns that had motivated his campaign, including that processed foods, seed oils, and pharmaceuticals were causing an explosion of chronic disease in children, that the U.S. was “addicted” to forever wars, and that the government was weaponizing agencies to suppress free speech and independent messages like his.
Speculation had been mounting over this past week that Kennedy would drop out and endorse Trump. His running mate Nicole Shanahan said Tuesday that Kennedy might end his campaign to lower the risk of a Kamala Harris presidency. Trump responded that he would consider appointing Kennedy to a position in his administration.
Still, Kennedy’s endorsement of the Republican candidate wasn’t inevitable.
Just last week, Kennedy was reportedly angling for a position in the Harris administration
