- At a political rally, Kennedy joined forces with Trump.
Unbiased Robert F. Kennedy makes debut at Donald Trump's political rally. "We had our differences," Trump greeted his guest in Arizona. Kennedy had taken him on a few times during the campaign, which didn't sit well with him. "But he's an incredible individual, an extraordinary man."
Mere moments prior, Kennedy declared his exit from the race in the tightly fought "swing states" and pledged his allegiance to Trump - a decision that might tip the scales in favor of the Republican contender against the Democratic presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris.
Now, Kennedy took center stage before an enthusiastic Trump crowd, stating he didn't delve into "the matters that set us apart, for we don't see eye-to-eye on everything, but rather the principles and matters that bind us together." The crowd roared "Bobby, Bobby" - his affectionate nickname.
"I believe he'll exert a positive impact," Trump asserted. They'd "stand shoulder to shoulder in the battle against the morally bankrupt political establishment and reclaim ownership of this nation." Trump implored Kennedy's supporters to "join in forging this union."
Kennedy's announcement to support Trump at the rally triggered excitement among the crowd, with many shouting, "Let's have a big party tonight!" The political environment seemed to shift after Kennedy's speech, further fueling optimism in the Republican camp.
