A court filing beat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the punch. In Pennsylvania, the independent candidate said he planned to endorse Donald Trump, the AP reported Friday.
Kennedy pushed supporters who live in 10 swing states to back Republican nominee Donald Trump , but said his name would remain on the ballots in traditional red or blue states.
Kennedy went scorched earth on his former party, the Democrats, during his Phoenix remarks - but didn't immediately reveal his plans. 'I began this journey as a Democrat, the party of my father, my uncle, the party I pledged my allegiance to long before I was old enough to vote,' he reminded the crowd.

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, posted to X Friday: 'Never been less surprised in my life' The Harris-Walz campaign chose a slightly different tact, welcoming Kennedy's supporters into the fold. In a statement Friday, she said, 'I deeply respect the decision Bobby made to run on the principle of unity.'
Earlier Friday, Kennedy's running mate, Nicole Shanahan, cast some doubt that a Trump endorsement would happen, telling podcast host Adam Carolla that Trump needed to apologize for his COVID-19 response.
