STATEMENT: RFK Jr. “Suspends” Spoiler Campaign, “Good Riddance.”
August 23, 2024
Today, in a bizarre, rambling announcement, RFK Jr. suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump for President. This should come as no surprise, as his candidacy has never been anything other than a spoiler campaign for Trump. He was recruited into the race by MAGA Republicans like Steve Bannon, he was propped up by Trump’s largest donor, and he parroted MAGA attacks on Democrats.
In response, DNC Senior Advisor Mary Beth Cahill issued the following statement:
“The more voters learned about RFK Jr. the less they liked him. Donald Trump isn’t earning an endorsement that’s going to help build support, he’s inheriting the baggage of a failed fringe candidate. Good riddance.”
