Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially declared his support for President Trump, citing reasons such as free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on children. He clarified that he is suspending his presidential campaign but not ending it, stating that his name will remain on the ballot in most states. In states where his presence could be a spoiler, he plans to remove his name.
Critical of the Democratic party, RFK Jr. expressed his concerns about the party’s stance on censorship, corruption, and war. He emphasized the need for an impartial system with open debates, fair primaries, an independent media, and nonpartisan institutions.
The campaign for RFK Jr. endorsed Trump in a Pennsylvania court filing and requested removal from the ballot. Meanwhile, JD Vance is set to attend a fundraiser hosted by critics of the Joe Biden administration’s stance on Israel. Tickets for the event will cost up to $250,000.
During the Democratic National Convention, the absence of a Palestinian American speaker was noted, prompting criticism and protests by anti-war demonstrators. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson claimed success in policing during the convention, despite numerous arrests and hospitalizations of protesters.
In response to the events, Jon Stewart highlighted the lack of Palestinian representation at the convention on his show. The National Lawyers Guild expressed concerns about the police response to protests outside the convention and emphasized the importance of respecting free expression.
