Doesn't give up completely
Automatically saved draft
The non-partisan Robert F. Kennedy wants to support Donald Trump in the US election campaign. Rumors to this effect have been circulating for some time. "I no longer believe that I have a realistic chance of winning", he said on Friday.
He therefore wanted to support the Republican. However, his own name will remain on most ballot papers. In any case, he will withdraw from the race for the White House in particularly contested US states. The 70-year-old announced in Phoenix on Friday that his name would be removed from the ballot.
There have been reports in the USA for a few days that the politician, who has no chance of winning, is moving to Trump's camp. It had been said that the withdrawal was a done deal.
Several meetings with Trump
In return, the Republican Trump would include him in his government team should he become US President. He had already met with Trump and his advisors several times, said the 70-year-old politician. They had found common ground on various issues, such as border security, freedom of speech and efforts to end wars.
The nephew of former President John F. Kennedy is not only considered to have no chance against Trump, but also against Democrat Kamala Harris. In the latest polls this week, he is polling at 8.7 percent.
Kennedy is a lawyer and activist, but is also known to many as an anti-vaccination campaigner and conspiracy theorist. He maintains contacts with right-wing extremists. Nevertheless, he originally wanted to enter the race for the White House for the Democrats.
