Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has formally backed Donald Trump for president in a court document, likely ending his own presidential bid.

Kennedy’s lawyer filed documents to remove his name from Pennsylvania and Arizona ballots, citing the endorsement.

This move precedes a press conference where Kennedy will discuss his campaign’s future.

Kennedy’s exit adds complexity to the 2024 presidential race, which remains closely contested.

His unorthodox stance drew support from both parties, sparking concerns about his potential impact on the outcome.

Trump may benefit from Kennedy’s endorsement, particularly in swing states where a slight shift in support could be crucial.
