Donald Trump, after being endorsed by third-party candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, promised to release all remaining documents related to the JFK assassination if he became president. He also vowed to create a new commission to investigate presidential assassination attempts. Kennedy, an anti-vaccine advocate, joined Trump on stage at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, where he announced his endorsement and suspended his presidential campaign to back Trump.
Kennedy’s decision faced backlash from his family members, who called it a betrayal of their values. Despite removing his name from some state ballots, Kennedy could not do so in key battleground states. Trump’s vice-presidential pick, JD Vance, has been linked to a group advocating the repeal of the Civil Rights Act.
Kennedy’s support for Trump surprised some of his followers who saw him as an alternative to the two-party system. Trump and Kennedy have a history of public criticism towards each other, with Kennedy calling Trump a “sociopath” in the past. Trump, however, praised Kennedy at the rally and suggested Kennedy would have defeated Joe Biden in the Democratic primary.
Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump comes amid his controversial views on vaccines and other health issues. Despite Kennedy’s history of spreading false information, Trump promised to work with him to investigate childhood health problems. The joint efforts could potentially lead to a collaboration between the two controversial figures in the future.
