Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday he will suspend his campaign and throw his support behind former President Donald Trump.

Advisers to his campaign said Mr. Kennedy was worried that if he stayed in the race, he would dilute support for former President Trump in a tight race with Vice President Kamala Harris.

"I feel that I no longer have a real chance of an election victory found in the face of this continuous, systematic censorship and controlled media," declared Mr. Kennedy.

An environmental lawyer, anti-vaccination activist, son and grandson of two prominent Democratic figures who were assassinated during the turbulent 1960s, Mr. Kennedy entered the race in April 2023 to challenge the nomination of to Mr. Biden as the Democratic candidate for president. Many members of the Kennedy family expressed their disapproval of his campaign.

"In nearly 10 disputed states, where my presence in the race could affect the result, I will withdraw my name. I have already started this process and urge voters not to vote for me," he said.

He said his decision was driven by "three main causes" that prompted him to support Mr Trump, counting "free speech, the war in Ukraine and the war on our children".

He said his name as a candidate in the Nov. 5 election will remain on the ballot in most states and asked American voters to vote for him "without harming or helping President Trump and Vice President Harris."

People close to Mr. Kennedy's campaign told Reuters that he is eyeing a deal with Mr. Trump to secure a position in a possible Trump administration in exchange for his support.

Mr. Trump told CNN this week that "he is still open" to the possibility of Mr. Kennedy having a role in his administration if the independent candidate drops out of the race and offers his support to the Republican nominee.
