- RFK Jr. suspends his campaign but leaves his name on the ballot in most states, aligning with Trump on key issues.
- Both RFK Jr. and Trump support Bitcoin and oppose CBDCs, amplifying cryptocurrency support in the 2024 election campaign.
- RFK Jr.’s endorsement follows weeks of talks with Trump, with discussions about a potential role in a future Trump administration.
Pro-Bitcoin candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially suspended his presidential campaign, announcing his decision in Phoenix on Friday. This move comes as Kennedy shifts his focus towards supporting former President Donald Trump. The announcement was made during a press conference where Kennedy also clarified that he is not ending his campaign, leaving his name on the ballot in most states.
Kennedy and Trump Aligned on Key Issues
Kennedy’s decision to suspend his campaign follows weeks of discussions with Trump, during which the two found common ground on several important matters. In a surprising revelation, Kennedy shared that their meetings covered border security, free speech, and anti-war stances, with Trump proposing a possible role for Kennedy in a future administration.
“Trump and I are aligned on several key issues, and our discussions were long and intense,” Kennedy stated. He further explained that the idea of a “unity party” was floated during their conversations, although he did not specify any potential role he would assume if Trump wins the presidency.
Crypto Support Unites the Candidates
Notably, both candidates share a pro-Bitcoin stance, further aligning them on cryptocurrency policy. Kennedy has been an outspoken advocate for Bitcoin and actively opposes central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), a view shared by Trump. The endorsement is likely to amplify their combined support for Bitcoin throughout Trump’s campaign as they continue to champion the cryptocurrency.
Kennedy reiterated his commitment to his core issues, noting that while he may be suspending his campaign, his name will remain on ballots. He emphasized that voters in both blue and red states could support him without directly influencing the overall results for Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump Welcomes Kennedy’s Endorsement
Shortly after the endorsement, Kennedy appeared alongside Trump at a campaign rally in Arizona, where the crowd reacted with enthusiasm. Trump praised Kennedy for raising critical issues that had been long ignored, acknowledging the significant impact of his candidacy.
Strategists remain uncertain whether Kennedy’s support will sway the tight race between Trump and Harris as the November 5 election draws near.
