Election 2024: RFK Jr. suspends his presidential campaign and rallies with Trump

Five of RFK Jr.’s siblings released a statement on X slamming his decision to endorse Trump’s campaign.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Courtney Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Christopher Kennedy and Rory Kennedy co-signed the statement, calling RFK Jr.’s decision to endorse Trump a “betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear.”

“It is a sad ending to a sad story,” the siblings wrote.

The five siblings also stated their support for the Harris-Walz ticket.

“We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride,” they wrote.

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy and RFK Jr.’s first cousin once removed, also slammed RFK Jr.’s decision on X.

“Never been less surprised in my life. Been saying it for over a year — RFKjr is for sale, works for Trump. Bedfellows and loving it,” Schlossberg wrote.

Schlossberg spoke at the DNC on Tuesday and endorsed Harris.

Several of the Kennedy siblings had endorsed Biden in April. Those included four of the five co-signers — all but Courtney Kennedy — as well as Joseph Kennedy II and Maxwell Kennedy Sr.

Joseph Kennedy II and Maxwell Kennedy Sr. did not co-sign the statement released on Kerry Kennedy’s X post today.
