Trump and RFK Jr. Forge Unlikely Political Alliance

Following an assassination attempt on Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ends his independent campaign to support the former president.

The partnership began with a phone call from Calley Means hours after Trump survived an assassination attempt.
Kennedy initially declined but later agreed to discuss an alliance, leading to weeks of secret negotiations.
Kennedy's support was seen as crucial to consolidating votes in battleground states and countering Kamala Harris's momentum.
Despite initial distrust, both camps worked towards a common goal, culminating in Kennedy's endorsement of Trump in August.
Kennedy has been appointed to Trump's transition team, with potential future roles in a Trump administration being speculated.
