PHOENIX — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign told a Pennsylvania court that he will be endorsing former President Donald Trump, ahead of his own Friday afternoon announcement putting to rest a tumultuous independent presidential campaign.
The filing came shortly before Kennedy was set to take the stage at an Arizona press conference where he's expected to formally end his presidential campaign.
Initially, Kennedy sought the Democratic presidential nomination, but he decided in October 2023 to run as an independent bid instead.
The Kennedy campaign spent more than $8 million on campaign consulting from Accelevate 2020 LLC, a group that also does ballot-access work.
Overall, the campaign effectively raised what it spent — it amassed $57.6 million and spent almost $54 million through July.
