Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his withdrawal from the U.S. presidential race and declared his support for Republican candidate Donald Trump.
This endorsement comes as a surprise, given Kennedy's previous harsh criticism of Trump, where he referred to him as a "terrible person" and "the worst president ever."
Kennedy had previously sought a meeting with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in mid-August but received no response.
In response to Kennedy's endorsement, Trump expressed his gratitude and stated that he would be "absolutely open" to offering Kennedy a role in his administration if he were to withdraw from the race.
