Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorses Trump in his campaign for the presidency

Former President Donald Trump counted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a “special guest” on Friday in Arizona, in the first event they held together after the independent left his campaign to endorse the former president.

According to RealClearPolitics, Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevadaand Arizona, while Harris leads in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Kennedy joined Trump in Glendale, in Maricopa County, a former Republican stronghold, where he was greeted with deafening applause and cheers from the crowd that packed the Desert Diamond Arena and fireworks as the song “My Hero” by Foo Fighters played.

“Bobby has run an extraordinary campaign for president of the United States. I know this because he also went after me a couple of times. I didn't like it,” Trump said.

“I think it's going to have a big influence on this campaign,” he said.

Trump greeted Kennedy with a handshake and assuring the crowd that the now former White House candidate deserved the applause and cheers, to which the crowd responded by shouting “USA, USA.”

“I am very pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible defender of many of the values ​​we all share,” said the former president.

“I don't think many of you have heard of him, he is very discreet, but very respected. He is a great person, I have known him for a long time,” Trump said.

Trump lashed out at Harris for her role in immigration across the border. He also promised great economic success for the country when he returns to the White House, as an extension of his successful economic management in his first presidential term.

Trump commented that Robert F. Kennedy, former U.S. attorney general, U.S. senator, and the father of the now former presidential candidate, and his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy—both assassinated in the 1960s—would be “watching” what was happening at that time and that they would be “very proud” of “Bobby.”

He announced that the former candidate will be in charge of a task force that he will create, if he wins the November elections, to investigate what is causing the increase in chronic health problems for decades in the country and childhood diseases.

He would also create an independent presidential commission on assassination attempts to release the remaining classified documents related to the assassination of President Kennedy.

Kennedy, who acknowledged his ideological differences with the candidate he now supports, said their values ​​overlap in “having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic.”

“Don't you want food without chemicals? Don't you want a president who will get us out of wars and rebuild the middle class?” Kennedy asked the angry crowd, to whom he assured that Trump will make ‘America healthy again.”
