UPDATE: ‘RFK Jr. says he’s in it to win it.”
I deleted my original post on RFK JR allegedly dropping out and endorsing Trump.
Kennedy has responded with the following and Iβm doing my due diligence in letting it be known.
We shall see what really happens. https://t.co/S0j1HOPjyR [1]

Original article below:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate in the 2024 Presidential race, is purportedly [3] weighing his options and might be pulling out of the elections to endorse former President Trump.
The news has generated a stir among political analysts and social media circles, with many interpreting it as a game-changing event that could swing a good number of moderate voters Trump’s way.

Kennedy Jr. is the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, a former US Senator, and brother of President John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy family has a longstanding affiliation with the Democratic Party in American politics.
Still, Robert Jr.’s alignment with the Republicans is not entirely unexpected, considering his vocal objections against health mandates and what he has previously said about Kamala Harris.
According to an article in the New York Post [6], Kennedy Jr. and Trump allegedly met in Milwaukee and talked about the possibility of RFK Jr. endorsing Trump.

The apparent support of Kennedy Jr. in favor of President Trump could spell trouble for Democrats, particularly in light of the former President’s strong bid for the 2024 elections.
Kennedy Jr.’s departure from the race could see Trump gain an edge in various moderate voting blocs, which could play a pivotal role in the upcoming election cycle.

Only time will tell if Kennedy Jr. decides to endorse Trump formally and what implications that move would have in the times to come.
For now, we can merely speculate and observe the ongoing events as they come.
RFK Jr. says he takes a larger amount of votes from Trump than Harris:
βI hope to draw votes from both of them. Right now, I draw many more votes from President Trump than from the Democrats.β
βAt the RNC, I told Trump that when I saw him, and he was like, βyeah, we got to doβ¦ pic.twitter.com/qqnUp1kYgj [11]
