As expected,  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced the suspension of his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.   He had become inconsequential, and joining the creepy Republican presidential team only worsens their chances.  I should add that.... five of his siblings   issued a joint statement in a post on X after he suspended his campaign   and said he was supporting Trump. STATEMENT ON ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.'S ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride. We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.
