Robert F Kennedy Jr suspends campaign and endorses Donald Trump | BBC News

Robert F Kennedy Jr has said he is suspending his independent run for the US presidency but will not drop out, keeping his name on the ballot in the states where it will not affect the race.

He announced the decision on Friday following days of speculation about a potential endorsement of Donald Trump.

Mr Kennedy, 70, a Democrat for most of his life and the scion of the powerful Kennedy dynasty said: "In my heart I no longer believe I have a realistic path to victory in the face of systematic censorship".

The decision effectively brings to an end a campaign fuelled by Mr Kennedy's anti-vax views, coloured by stories of dead bears and brain-eating worms. His polling has slumped from a high of double figures as funds and national coverage dried up.

I see the abominable state of the media that he described isn't restricted to the US.

[avenger]

Lol they didnt even play any of his speech.

Amazing work BBC

[joseph]

Are the Brits allowed to hear Kennedy's speech? Or is it being censored by the Labour Party?

[ScottEastern-uq]

I'm favoured, $27K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

As someone old enough to remember his father, I think RFK Sr would be extremely proud of his son today. What he said about the American mainstream media and today’s corrupt democrat party was the God’s honest truth.

[anonamous]

I loved what RFK had to say about the propaganda machine that is legacy media in America. He nailed it and them.

[suzettek]

Why are you not reporting on what RFK is saying and his reasons for doing this ? ffs 🙄

[sergion]

Why don't you put him speaking? Ahh, I know because he is uncovering the Democrats and how bad they have gone.

[swampybwoy]

Why can’t we hear his speech from his own mouth?!

[boris]

The far left BBC are not happy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[TmcksnT]

did a BBC anchor just ask on live tv if RFK was a sore loser? Really!?

[edokobistanley]

He said in full he is supporting Trump

[shutincharlie]

RFK jr is a brave man and speaks truth

[bernadettesheehy]

Get your facts right on BBC, at the height of his campaign he ( RFK .Jr ) was coming in at 22% not 15.

[bernadettesheehy]

This RFK Jr.speech is a very very impressive detailed summary of several issues wrong with the US Undemocratic Party & Mainstream Media ( Propaganda machine) that most thinking Americans will profoundly agree with. Excellent speech by a really good man.

If Kalama Harris gets elected the whole world is in trouble

[chrisbremner]

I remember when the BBC wasn’t so rubbish .

[alexalston]

Wow BBC this is a new low even for you. The agenda in plain sight. He gave a great speech which obviously the BBC is threatened by, displayed for all to see. I’m happy more and more loving people are waking up to the division being spewed by the likes of the BBC. Let us all unite around the health and safety of our children, well said RFK, too bad the BBC doesn’t have the integrity to show it.

[BubbaSmith]

They don't even let you hear him speak and have these hacks on.

[cuzcohusky]

The democrats didn’t even have an debates amount them they just picked Harrison like they did Hillary 😅 get your facts right they never gave any other democratic candidates a chance
