Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his presidential\u2064 campaign and endorsed Donald Trump\u2063 during a press conference in \u200bPhoenix, Arizona. He cited concerns about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/project-veritas-strips-cnn-naked\/\" title=\"Project Veritas Strips CNN Naked\">free speech<\/a>, the war in Ukraine, and a childhood\u2062 health epidemic as reasons\u200d for his support of Trump. Although Kennedy is suspending\u2064 his \u2062campaign, he plans to \u2063keep his name on the ballot in most states\u2014excluding ten battleground states\u2014because he does not want to assist Kamala Harris&#8217;s candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy&#8217;s support is significant \u2063as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hannity-asks-trump-if-hes-considering-a-run-for-president-in-2024\/\" title=\"Hannity Asks Trump If He\u2019s Considering A Run For President In 2024\">recent polls show<\/a> he attracts\u2063 more voters from those who would otherwise support Trump than from \u2062Harris. His exit from the race in key \u2062states could sway a negligible\u2064 percentage of votes in Trump&#8217;s favor, \u200cwhich \u200dmay still be crucial in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-have-rewritten-the-political-map-how-the-gop-turned-florida-into-a-red-state\/\" title=\"\u2018We Have Rewritten the Political Map\u2019: How the GOP Turned Florida Into a Red State\">tight presidential contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During his announcement, Kennedy criticized the Democratic Party and Harris for not engaging with voters, remarking that \u200bthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/has-joe-biden-really-nominated-a-marxist-to-regulate-our-banks\/\" title=\"Has Joe Biden Really Nominated A Marxist To Regulate Our Banks?\">current nominee<\/a> \u2064had not participated in unscripted encounters with the public for over a month. His claims about media bias were underscored by a moment when CNN cut away from his speech when he \u2062began criticizing Harris, prompting him to highlight their disinterest in giving him coverage.<\/p>\n<p>The situation \u2064raises the\u2064 possibility that attempts by the \u2064Democratic establishment to sideline Kennedy\u2014leading him to leave the party\u2014could inadvertently benefit Trump&#8217;s campaign in the 2024 election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>True to form, CNN broke to commercial during independent presidential candidate Robert F.

Kennedy&#8217;s announcement on Friday that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump, right when he started making critical remarks about Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. It&#8217;s clear that CNN aims to ensure the favorable media coverage for Harris from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago remains fresh in voters&#8217; minds. Speaking from Phoenix, Arizona, Kennedy remarked on the Democratic Party leaders: &#8220;They installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate.&#8221; He continued by referencing his uncle and father, stating they thrived on debate and would be shocked to see a Democratic nominee like Vice President Harris who hasn&#8217;t engaged in any interviews or unscripted interactions with voters for 35 days.<\/p>\n<p>CNN then interjected, suggesting that Kennedy was merely &#8220;outlining what led him to his quixotic quest for the White House,&#8221; implying he shouldn&#8217;t be taken seriously. Noticing this dismissal, RFK Jr. shared a post on X featuring their interruption of his speech.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, during his address, Kennedy highlighted how mainstream media has neglected to cover his campaign\u2014first aiding President Biden and now supporting Harris. He also disclosed that while Trump had agreed to meet with him as he contemplated withdrawing from the race, Harris had declined any communication or meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy cited free speech issues, the war in Ukraine, and childhood health crises as reasons for backing Trump. Although he&#8217;s suspending his campaign, he stated he&#8217;ll remain on ballots in most states except ten battleground ones where he doesn&#8217;t want to aid Harris&#8217; candidacy. Recent polls suggest RFK Jr.&#8217;s support leans more towards potential Trump voters than those of Harris; thus removing himself from key states could result in only a slight shift toward Trump but might still influence the election outcome significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Polling indicates tight races in swing states between Trump and Harris with very narrow margins separating them. The irony lies in how Democrats attempted various tactics to hinder Kennedy&#8217;s candidacy during primaries\u2014leading him ultimately to leave their party\u2014which could inadvertently pave the way for Trump&#8217;s victory; such an outcome would indeed feel like poetic justice for many observers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2330298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CNN-cuts-off-RFK-Jr.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9373,6733,32438,32458,4554],"class_list":["post-2330297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cnn","tag-controversy","tag-kamala-harris","tag-rfk-jr","tag-speech"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CNN-cuts-off-RFK-Jr.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330297","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\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2330297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2330298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2330297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2330297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2330297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
