In the wake of his own running mate publicly saying he was considering quitting the presidential race and joining forces with former President Donald Trump, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will address the nation on Friday.

His campaign press secretary Stephanie Spear said the announcement will be “about the present historical moment and his path forward.”

The event, slated for 2 p.m. Eastern in Phoenix, Arizona, will be live-streamed on X and other social channels.

Interestingly, Trump will be attending a rally in the same area late Friday afternoon in Glendale, Arizona, fueling speculation Kennedy will be joining the Trump team, as RFK is railing against Democrats for trying to keep him off the presidential ballot.

As WorldNetDaily reported Tuesday, Kennedy is seriously considering ending his 2024 White House bid and endorsing Trump, according to RFK’s running mate Nicole Shanahan.

“There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump, or we draw somehow more votes from Trump,” Shanahan said on the “Impact Theory” podcast.

“Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and you know, we walk away from that and explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” she told interviewer Tom Bilyeu.

“Not easy, not an easy decision,” she added.

“I did not put in tens of millions of dollars to be a spoiler candidate,” the attorney and entrepreneur said earlier in the interview.

“I put in tens of millions of dollars to win, to fix this country, to do the right thing,” she said.

We don’t want to be a spoiler.”

“We wanted to win. We wanted a fair shot.”

Regarding Kennedy, Trump told CNN on Tuesday: “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”

Trump said he’d “love that endorsement, because I’ve always liked” Kennedy.

Asked if he would consider appointing RFK Jr. to a role in his future administration, Trump said he “probably would.”

“I like him a lot. I respect him a lot,” Trump said. “I probably would, if something like that would happen. He’s a very different kind of a guy, a very smart guy. And, yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement, certainly.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
