In his first appearance after withdrawing from the 2024 election, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urged his supporters to rally behind former President Donald Trump. At an August 23 rally in Glendale, Arizona, Trump announced that if reelected, he would create a federal panel on chronic disease, appointing Kennedy to lead it. Trump praised Kennedy's long-standing efforts to improve public health, particularly for children.
The proposed panel would focus on investigating the rise in chronic health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, obesity, autism, infertility, and other diseases—issues central to Kennedy’s campaign. Additionally, Trump pledged to release classified documents related to the assassination of Kennedy’s uncle, President John F. Kennedy.
Earlier that day, Kennedy revealed that he would no longer pursue his independent presidential bid and would instead support Trump. At the rally, Kennedy acknowledged their differences but highlighted shared goals, including addressing corruption in federal health and food agencies, ending neoconservative influences in U.S. foreign policy, and fighting government censorship.
Despite his earlier strong polling, Kennedy’s campaign had struggled financially by the end of July, with debts nearly equal to cash on hand. In a speech from Phoenix, he admitted that his path to the White House had become unrealistic due to censorship and media control. His departure could potentially benefit Trump, with internal and external polls showing a slight advantage for Trump among voters who had previously supported Kennedy.
However, the impact of Kennedy’s exit on
the race remains uncertain, with many voters still undecided.
