RFK Jr. is now expected to drop out of the presidential race to support Trump by the end of the week, sources are confirming.
Sources tell ABC News that Kennedy plans to endorse Donald Trump — but when asked directly by ABC News if he will be endorsing the former president, Kennedy said, “I will not confirm or deny that.”
“We are not talking about any of that,” he said.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering a potential endorsement of Donald Trump for president.
While a final decision hasn’t been made and could change, sources suggest Kennedy hopes to announce his decision soon to counter the momentum from the Democratic National Convention.
One possibility being discussed is a joint appearance with Trump at an event in Phoenix on Friday.
However, sources caution that Kennedy’s plans could shift, and Trump’s team has not confirmed any plans for Friday, per ABC News.
Kennedy’s campaign manager, Amaryllis Fox, emailed staff on Wednesday expressing gratitude for their work but indicating that a decision on the campaign’s future direction had not been reached.
“There are a couple potential paths forward, not only two, and I can bear witness to the care, examination that Bobby has invested in the consideration of each,” Fox wrote, according to the source.
A spokesperson for Kennedy posted on X that Kennedy will “address the nation” live on Friday to discuss his “path forward,” but offered no specifics.
Kennedy told ABC News regarding the Democratic convention and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, “I think it was a coronation, it’s not democracy. Nobody voted. Who chose Kamala? It wasn’t voters”.

Trump now wants to eliminate income tax, saving people money after, announcing a new strategy to institute a policy on tariffs.
This policy on tariffs would lead to the elimination of the federal income tax, per Yahoo Finance.
Tariffs allow the United States to increase the cost of foreign-made products, particularly those that come from countries that have significantly lower labor and materials costs, or those who allow unfair trade practices.
The effect of a tariff is to level the playing field for domestic companies who keep jobs local and are subject to the labor laws of the United States.
Tariffs are paid to the U.S. government before foreign goods can be brought into the country.
“The additional cost incurred by the foreign manufacturer would then be passed on to the consumer in the form of a higher retail price,” reports Yahoo Finance.
“During Trump’s presidential term, he used tariffs to increase the cost of goods made in China, so that American goods could be priced more competitively.”
The impact of raising costs on tariffs again would mean that prices would rise on all imported goods.
However, Americans would keep more of their hard-earned money if Trump is able to eliminate federal taxes on income.
Less taxes equals more purchasing power, which creates a healthy circulation in our economy.
The increasing odds of a recession in the United States is primarily due to rising layoffs, an increase in bankruptcies, and a decrease in purchasing power.
