Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his long-shot presidential campaign on Friday, throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump in a bid to shake up an already chaotic 2024 race.
Kennedy took a unique approach in ending his campaign, stressing that he was only removing his name from the ballot in 10 swing states. Otherwise, he encouraged his supporters to still vote for him in states that are overwhelmingly blue or red.
