Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ended his independent presidential campaign, which had posed a potential challenge to the major-party candidates. Kennedy's bid garnered attention due to his contrarian views and potential to sway swing state voters. Both Trump and Kennedy's campaigns are reportedly coordinating a joint appearance, with talks of Kennedy possibly endorsing Trump or joining his administration. A leaked video revealed a Kennedy staffer referring to Joe Biden as the "mutual enemy" of both Trump and Kennedy voters.
