In a surprising turn of events, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, has withdrawn his name from the ballot in Arizona, just a day before he is set to deliver a speech addressing “the present historical moment and his path forward” in Phoenix.
This development has sparked speculation that Kennedy may be considering dropping out of the race and potentially endorsing former President Donald Trump.
The timing of Kennedy’s announcement coincides with Trump’s scheduled rally in Glendale, Arizona, where the former president has teased the appearance of a “special guest.”
While Trump has stated that no plans have been made for Kennedy to join him, he acknowledged the possibility of a meeting between the two on Friday to discuss the matter further.
Kennedy’s withdrawal from the Arizona ballot comes less than a week after he submitted over 118,000 signatures to secure his place on the ballot, surpassing the required threshold.
The move has raised questions about the future of his campaign and the potential implications for the 2024 presidential race.
As the speculation surrounding a possible alliance between Kennedy and Trump continues to grow, political observers are closely watching the developments in the coming days to see if the independent candidate will indeed endorse the Republican nominee or chart a different course for his campaign.
