F Kennedy Jr suspends White House race, endorses Trump

GLENDALE, Aug 24 (AFP): Robert F. Kennedy Jr, scion of America's storied political clan, suspended his long-shot presidential bid on Friday and endorsed Donald Trump, injecting new uncertainty into the White House race.
"I no longer believe that I have a realistic path of electoral victory," Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist who was polling in the low single digits, said at a press conference in swing state Arizona.
Kennedy, 70, condemned the selection of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic standard-bearer without a primary contest and cited a long list of grievances against his former party that he said had led him to now "throw my support to president Trump."
Kennedy failed to get on the ballot in even half of the 50 US states and his independent candidacy featured a number of bizarre twists-including his claim to be suffering from a parasitic brain worm and a story about dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park.
