Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Consider Resigning And Supporting Trump In The US Presidential Election

JAKARTA - A candidate for president of the United States from an independent path, Robert F. Kennedy wants an agreement with Donald Trump, in which he will support Republican rivals in exchange for a potential Trump administration job, the super PAC said in support of Kennedy to Reuters on Wednesday.

The Kennedy campaign team said on Wednesday it would address the people on Friday in Arizona, where it will talk about "the current historic moment and its path forward."

Kennedy plans to leave the election and support Trump, but it depends on whether Republicans offer Kennedy "and others" positions at the White House if elected, Larry Sharpe, director of outreach with American Values 2024, told Reuters.

Earlier, Trump told CNN this week he was "certainly open" to Kennedy who played a role in his government if the independent candidate came out of competition and supported him.

Kennedy also wants Trump to allow his political movement to continue in a certain way, which could include remaining in the vote in several states, Sharpe said.

Sementara itu, ABC News melaporkan pada Hari Rabu, mengutip sumber yang tidak disebutkan, Kennedy berencana untuk keluar dari persaingan pada akhir pekan ini dan mendukung Trump.

The super PAC, or political action committee, could raise unlimited amounts of funds for candidates but was barred from coordinating directly with the campaign. American Values alone has raised more than $50 million to support Kennedy, according to a Federal General Elections Commission filing until June 30.

The Kennedy campaign team declined to comment. Meanwhile, Kennedy vice presidential candidate Nicole Marijuhan told media firm Los Angeles Impact Theory on Tuesday she was considering ending her campaign to join Trump.

han in an interview released on Tuesday said Trump had been interested in their health care policy, making it worth exploring "coalizing".

Trump himself had previously sought Kennedy support, according to a leaked phone call to Reuters and other outlets in July indicating.

It is known that Kennedy (70) is the son of the late Democratic politician Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, he started his presidential campaign as a Democrat, challenging President Joe Biden for nominations.

However, Kennedy has not met the requirements to participate in elections in many states. Support for Kennedy was only 4 percent in the Ipsos poll this month, down from 10 percent the previous month.
