Kennedy Jr. suspends his presidential bid, endorses Trump. How will it affect the race?

LA Times  

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his presidential campaign at a Friday news conference in Phoenix, denouncing the Democratic Party of his storied family and throwing his support behind the Republican nominee, former President Trump. Trump said Kennedy’s father, the U.S. senator from New York and U.S. attorney general, and uncle President John F. Kennedy Jr. — both staunch Democrats — were “looking down right now” and “very, very proud of Bobby.” Five of Kennedy’s siblings issued a statement calling his endorsement of Trump a “betrayal” of the family’s values. At the same time, Kennedy said he was “joining the Trump campaign” after Trump promised, if he wins, to bring him into his administration to combat chronic illness among American children — which Kennedy has long suggested is due to “Big Pharma” and “Big Ag” pumping “toxins” into the nation’s food supply. “I’m choosing to believe that this time he will follow through.” Kennedy also said Trump promised to tackle two of his other top priorities — by immediately ending the war in Ukraine and by confronting political and media “censorship,” which both he and Trump, famous wealthy men with powerful platforms, routinely claim to be victimized by. “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade claimed Friday morning that Trump would pick up a critical 2 or 3 percentage points with Kennedy’s support.
