Attendees of the Trump ally in Glendale, Arizona give their reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement.

GLENDALE, Ariz.—Former president Donald Trump introduced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the “special guest” at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, just hours after Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign.

Kennedy 70, a former Democrat, withdrew his candidacy as an Independent candidate on Aug. 23 amid sagging polls and backed Trump as the Republican nominee in the 2024 election.

During the rally, Trump hailed Kennedy as a “great guy” who is “respected by everybody,” and wants him to be a part of his administration if he wins the election in November.

The rally started at 4 p.m. in Glendale and lasted more than an hour.

A crowd of Trump supporters filled the Wicked Wolf bar near the arena and watched the 45th president criticize his Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris on widescreen televisions.

“I love it. I’m so ready for it. I was really hoping that this was going to happen,” said Edith Verjarcruz of Arizona regarding Kennedy dropping out of the race.

She said Kennedy’s support of Trump is a win-win for his campaign.

Trump supporter Miguel Bravo of Glendale said he viewed Kennedy as an old-style Democrat who could no longer fit in with the party establishment based on principle.

“That’s what this is—the Old School,” Bravo told The Epoch Times.

Amman Catalan of Surprise, Arizona, said he could see no conflicts with Kennedy serving as a former Democrat in a second Trump administration. He said both men believe in doing “what’s best for America.”

However, Joe O’Shaughnessy of Arizona said Kennedy’s withdrawal from the race would direct votes to Harris.

“I preferred that he stayed in” the race, O’Shaughnessy told The Epoch Times.

“I know a lot of Democrats and they all were going to vote for RFK. I think, in all reality, it gave Kamala a boost.”

Leno Marin from Phoenix, who supports Trump, said Kennedy should be praised for his work with the Children’s Defense Fund and his opposition to COVID-19 injections.
