RFK Jr. halts his presidential run campaign.
"Deep down, I no longer think I stand a chance of winning through elections, given this continuous suppression and manipulation of media by those in power. I can't in all fairness, persist in making my staff and supporters put in endless hours, or expect more financial support when I can't guarantee a genuine route to the Oval Office," he expressed.
In a legal document submitted in Pennsylvania, the aspirant announced withdrawal of the legal challenge aimed at gaining ballot access in the state, "as a consequence of today's support."
As per the filing, "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan, standing as the 'We The People' contenders for US President and Vice President, on account of today's endorsement of Donald Trump for the Presidency of the United States, hereby withdraw their opposition to the petition of Alexander Reber and Janneken Smucker."
Paul Rossi, the attorney responsible for the filing, revealed to CNN that there had been a misunderstanding, and they were correcting it by submitting a revised document.
"We're submitting a revised notice in Pennsylvania," Rossi confirmed.
In a statement, Stefanie Spear, spokesperson for Kennedy's campaign, clarified that Kennedy had not endorsed Trump.
"Mr. Kennedy has not endorsed President Trump. The filing was prepared by an attorney without Kennedy's knowledge or review," Spear shared.
Kennedy campaign advisor Del Bigtree admitted his unawareness of the situation, remarking, "I am taken aback to see this."
Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in Arizona on Friday, with hints of a "special guest" attending.

Despite the filing's implications, Paul Rossi, Kennedy's attorney, stated that there was a misunderstanding, and they were correcting it by submitting a revised document. Regardless of the confusion, politics in the upcoming elections are expected to remain complex and contentious.
