The Kennedy siblings: "A betrayal of our values"
The Kennedy family calls Robert F Kennedy Jr's decision to support Donald Trump in the presidential election "a betrayal of family values", reports Sky News.
"We believe in Harris and Walz [...] It is a sad end to a sad story," his brothers and sisters wrote in a joint statement.
The Kennedy family has a long history in American politics and has consistently been loyal to the Democrats. Kennedy Jr. began his campaign for the Democrats but then decided to become an independent candidate - eventually joining the Trump campaign.
- I was surprised to discover that we have a consensus on many key issues, Kennedy said during his press conference on Friday.

Robert F Kennedy Jr drops out of the election - endorses Donald Trump
Independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr withdraws from the presidential race and endorses Donald Trump. He announced this at a press conference on Friday evening.
- I no longer see that I have a possible path to an election victory, he says.
Kennedy has gathered about five percent of voter support in opinion polls.
- The message is very important because the election right now is extremely even between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Where Kennedy's voters go can be decisive, says SVT's US correspondent Fouad Youcefi.
A little later tonight, Trump is holding a campaign rally in the same state and has promised a "special guest", according to Axios.
