Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Donald Trump in Arizona to help Trump regain momentum in battleground states by attacking Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump criticized the Democratic party for rigging primaries and silencing opponents. Kennedy and Trump both voiced a desire to end neoconservative influence in Washington. Kennedy incorrectly implied US troops were fighting in Ukraine. Trump pledged to end the Russian war in Ukraine, eliminate taxes on Social Security income, and taxes on tips. Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign to support Trump, blaming the media and corrupt Democrats for his shift. They criticized the media, Democrats, and pharmaceutical companies for various issues. Trump teased Kennedy as a special guest and received a warm reception from the audience. Trump mentioned creating a commission on presidential assassination attempts and declassifying JFK assassination records. The rally in Arizona came after Trump’s visit to the US-Mexico border and a speech in Las Vegas. Trump criticized illegal immigration and changes made since he left office. The rally showed new urgency after Harris replaced Biden and overtook Trump in some polling. Trump’s speech was shorter than usual after supporters leaving during his previous speeches were noted. Kennedy’s support added energy to the rally, contrasting with Trump failing to mention his running mate. Trump vowed to prioritize national security at the southern border to counter Harris’ momentum in Arizona.
