Kennedy’s press secretary, Stefanie Spear, posted the announcement about “the current historic moment and his path forward” on social media Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes after Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, blasted Democrats on Tuesday, saying she “fully supports” a role for Kennedy in a future Trump administration. Shanahan also hinted that they could end their campaign and endorse former President Trump.

Shortly before the announcement, Amaryllis Kennedy, Kennedy’s daughter-in-law and campaign manager, emailed the campaign staff.
“For the past 19 months (22 months for the original core), this team – this family – has worked seven days a week, ten plus hours a day, in blizzards and searing heat, sacrificing family time, personal commitments and all hope of sleep, in service of our shared vision for this country,” she wrote. “Never, in all these months, has Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sidestepped his movement to communicate his heart through back-channel leaks. Nor would he ever, especially at this most consequential moment for us all. So please, hang tight until you hear directly from him.”
