In a statement released on Friday, Kennedy said, "I've made the heart-wrenching decision to suspend my campaign and to support President Trump. This decision is agonizing for me because of the difficulties it causes me, my children, and my friends."
At a press conference in Phoenix, Arizona, Kennedy accused the Democratic Party of waging "continual legal warfare" against both Trump and himself. He also charged that the party ran "a sham" primary election, preventing him from having a fair shot at the White House.

Political analysts and data experts are now debating the potential impact of Kennedy's withdrawal from the race on the electoral battle between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
CNN anchor Erin Burnett cited a recent New York Times/Siena College poll showing Kennedy with 6% support in Arizona and Nevada, 5% in Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. In a segment on Friday, she emphasized the significance of these numbers in swing states.

Kennedy's recent alliance with Trump has sparked speculation about his possible role in a Trump administration should the former president prevail in November.
Kennedy, the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated, initially launched his presidential bid as a Democrat in a primary challenge to President Biden. However, he later sought an independent run after being pushed out by the party.
His endorsement of Trump has shaken up the news cycle, which has been largely focused on Harris since her official acceptance of the Democratic nomination at the DNC convention in Chicago, following Biden's withdrawal from the race.
In the interview with Fox News, Kennedy is expected to elaborate on his reasons for suspending his campaign, his support for Trump, and his potential role in a Trump administration if Trump wins the election.
