Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has halted his campaigning in several key battleground states while expressing support for former President Donald Trump. He continues to remain on the ballot in states with clear partisan leanings.
Campaign Suspension and Trump Support
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his campaign in several battleground states, including Arizona. He noted that he does not see a feasible way to win and does not want to spend the resources of his supporters and volunteers. Nevertheless, his name will remain on the ballot in states with clear partisan leanings.
Speech in Arizona
At a press conference in Arizona, Kennedy stated that he cannot in good conscience ask his team and volunteers to keep working long hours, or his donors to continue giving funds, when he honestly cannot say he has a real path to the White House. He expressed concerns about media control and censorship that have haunted the prospects of his campaign.
Charles Hoskinson's Reaction
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, praised Kennedy's initiative to curb corporate influence and media control over American politics. Hoskinson supports the potential alliance between Kennedy and Trump, believing that it could mitigate what he sees as an inevitable decline in American democracy.
Kennedy's decision to halt his campaign in key states could significantly impact the dynamics of the 2024 presidential race, giving Trump an advantage in the upcoming contest.
