Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate, makes his first appearance at a campaign rally of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Arizona. Kennedy declares his support for Trump in defeating the corrupt political establishment and urges Trump's supporters to join this coalition.

The endorsement could impact the highly contested swing states in the race against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Despite past conflicts, Kennedy and Trump find common ground on values and issues.

Kennedy's decision to support Trump draws criticism from the Kennedy family, who claim it betrays their values. The Trump campaign sees Kennedy's endorsement as an opportunity, but his fringe anti-vaccination views pose risks.

Analysts debate the potential impact of Kennedy's withdrawal, with his supporters potentially gravitating towards either Trump or Harris. Overall, Kennedy's support adds a new dynamic to the election campaign and signals a new alliance between him and Trump.
