Robert F Kennedy Jr, scion of the Democratic Kennedy family, has suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. Kennedy's campaign, seen as a threat to both Harris and Trump, was dogged by controversies like assault allegations and bizarre bicycle incident.

Despite initially polling at 10%, Kennedy's popularity dropped amid scandals and his campaign struggled to raise funds. Kennedy's running mate admitted he drew more votes from Trump.

Kennedy approached Harris campaign to discuss endorsing her for cabinet position, but was snubbed. Kennedy's mix of vaccine skepticism, hardline border policies, and Trump's apparent offer for future collaboration contributed to his campaign.

Kennedy also claimed Covid-19 was 'ethnically targeted', chemicals in water were making children transgender, and that wifi causes 'leaky brain' and links antidepressants to school shootings. Kennedy responded to allegations of sexual assault by stating 'I am not a church boy', and made false claims about Covid-19 in a video.
