Former President Donald Trump hinted at a possible meeting with independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday, coinciding with Kennedy's expected suspension of his presidential bid. Trump mentioned the potential encounter during an interview on Fox News, stating that they both happen to be in Arizona, albeit in different parts of the state. While Trump expressed uncertainty about Kennedy's endorsement, he acknowledged the possibility of discussing it during their meeting.
Trump's campaign announced that a 'special guest' would be joining him at his rally in Arizona, coinciding with Kennedy's anticipated announcement to end his presidential campaign at an event in Phoenix earlier in the day. Reports had previously indicated ongoing discussions between Trump's team and Kennedy's circle regarding a potential endorsement of the former president and a joint appearance at Trump's rally in the Phoenix area.
