Former President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that there were no plans in place for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to join him at his campaign rally in Arizona. Kennedy is expected to conclude his campaign the following day.
When asked about Kennedy's potential appearance at the rally, Trump mentioned that they were in the same state but emphasized that no arrangements had been finalized. However, discussions are reportedly ongoing between Trump's team and Kennedy's circle regarding the independent candidate endorsing Trump and attending the Phoenix area rally.
Trump clarified that he had not recently communicated with Kennedy but acknowledged rumors of a potential endorsement. He expressed that receiving Kennedy's endorsement would be a significant honor for him and highlighted his respect for RFK Jr., noting their long-standing acquaintance and Kennedy's intelligence.
Describing Kennedy as 'very smart' and 'a little bit different,' Trump indicated his acceptance of these differences. The former president's comments suggest a level of admiration for Kennedy despite any contrasting viewpoints they may hold.
