It’s unclear if the Independent presidential candidate will join forces with Donald Trump, but both are scheduled to speak in the same area on the same day.
Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly plans to drop out of the 2024 United States presidential race on Aug. 23.
On Aug. 21, RFK Jr.’s campaign announced that the presidential candidate would address the nation live from Phoenix on Aug. 23 “about the present historical moment and his path forward.” ABC News reported that, according to sources familiar with the decision, the announcement could focus on the Independent candidate dropping out of the race.
During an Aug. 20 interview, Kennedy’s running mate Nicole Shanahan suggested the presidential ticket might drop out and join with Republican candidate Donald Trump as a “unity party.” Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Aug. 23, a few hours after RFK Jr.’s announcement in Phoenix — roughly 16 km away.
