Kennedy Jr. prepares to exit the presidential race and endorse former President Donald Trump. On Friday, the Democratic National Committee launched a series of billboards near Trump&#8217;s rally in Glendale, Arizona, categorizing Trump, Kennedy, and Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as &#8220;weird.&#8221; The billboards feature images of Vance and Kennedy flanking Trump, who is depicted making a gesture that suggests craziness with his finger pointed at his head. The bold text on the billboard reads &#8220;WEIRD AS HELL.&#8221; This labeling of Trump and Vance as weird originated from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), who first used the term in a TV interview prior to becoming Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s running mate. Additionally, Trump&#8217;s campaign hinted that an unnamed &#8220;special guest&#8221; would join him on stage at an Arizona event later that day; many speculate this could be Kennedy since he held a press conference in the state earlier that morning. While some viewed Kennedy&#8217;s candidacy as potentially splitting votes between Trump and Harris, Democrats have actively sought legal means to prevent him from appearing on ballots despite Trump&#8217;s support for him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2542,"featured_media":2330247,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/donald-trump-rfk-jr-potential-endorsement-august-2024.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3685,32458,3634,15469],"class_list":["post-2330246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-democrats","tag-rfk-jr","tag-trump","tag-vance"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/donald-trump-rfk-jr-potential-endorsement-august-2024.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2542"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2330246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2330247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2330246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2330246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2330246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
