RFK Jr. may exit presidential race, running mate says

Could Robert F. Kennedy Jr. exit the presidential race?

PHOENIX – Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. late Thursday filed to withdraw his name from Arizona’s Nov. 5 ballot, the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office confirmed to The Arizona Republic, a USA TODAY Network partner.

Kennedy filed to withdraw about 5:30 p.m., according to JP Martin, a spokesperson for Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.

Speculation has swirled about Kennedy considering ending his campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.

Kennedy is scheduled to speak Friday in Phoenix about his “path forward.” Later in the day, Trump is holding a rally with an unnamed “special guest” at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale.

Asked Thursday about the RFK Jr. chatter, Trump said he would consider it a great honor if Kennedy endorsed him but that there were no plans for him to appear with Trump in Glendale.

Trump, who was making a border stop in Cochise County, called Kennedy “smart” and “a little bit different but that’s OK.”
