Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his withdrawal from a ballot access challenge in Pennsylvania following an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. In a court filing, Kennedy stated that he and his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, known as the We The People candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, are withdrawing their opposition to the petition filed by Alexander Reber and Janneken Smucker.

The decision to withdraw from the challenge comes in light of Trump's endorsement for the office of President of the United States. Kennedy is set to formally drop out of the presidential race at an event in Arizona scheduled for Friday. Coincidentally, Trump is also holding a rally in Arizona on the same day, with the campaign hinting at the appearance of a 'special guest.'
