TFPP Wire "Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign took an unexpected turn this week, as he withdrew his name from the Arizona ballot just as the Democratic National Convention wrapped up.
"This move has sparked speculation about Kennedy’s political future and his potential impact on the 2024 race.
"On social media, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes announced, “RFK Jr.’s campaign filed official paperwork with our office today withdrawing him from AZ’s 2024 election.” Fontes added that the official filing would be available on the state’s website soon.
"This development comes at a critical time in the election cycle.
"The Democratic Party just finished its convention, where Vice President Kamala Harris gave the keynote address.
"Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that Kennedy might drop out of the race entirely and throw his support behind former President Donald Trump.
"Adding fuel to the fire, Kennedy has scheduled an address for Friday, August 23, to update the public on his political plans." . . . My father and my uncle were members of a Democratic Party that was at the forefront of making sure that every American could vote for the candidate they wanted to.
