Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement he was suspending his campaign and endorsing former President Trump unleashed a wave of social media reactions.
Both conservative and liberal social media users reacted strongly to independent 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspending his campaign and endorsing former President Trump on Friday.
“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, and my children and my friends”, Kennedy said on Friday afternoon.
At his press conference in Phoenix, Ariz., Kennedy accused the Democratic Party of waging “continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself”, and running “a sham” Democratic primary election that he said prevented him from having a fair shot at the White House.
“In an honest system, I believe I would have won the election”, he said. “I no longer believe that I have a realistic past of electoral victory in the face of this relentless, systematic censorship and media control.”
Conservatives on social media applauded Kennedy’s move.
Business owner and podcast host Patrick Bet-David remarked on the major impact he believes Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump will have on the election.
