The presidential election took an unexpected turn late last week when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his decision to withdraw from the ballot in red and swing states, offering his endorsement to former President Donald Trump.
Although Kennedy and Trump differ on several key issues, Kennedy emphasized that defeating Vice President Kamala Harris is his top priority. He has urged his supporters to cast their votes for Trump, reflecting his belief that preventing a Harris presidency is of utmost importance.
In a video posted to his X account, Kennedy criticized the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for what he described as its “profoundly undemocratic” support of Harris. He also highlighted the DNC’s refusal to grant him interviews, a point that garnered agreement from Elon Musk, who shared his support for Kennedy’s stance in a tweet.

Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl weighed in as well, accusing the Democrats of hypocrisy when it comes to what they accuse Trump of doing vs. what they are doing themselves.
Everything the Democrats are saying President Trump would do if he was elected they themselves have been doing! https://t.co/mqBEHpym9X

“Everything the Democrats are saying President Trump would do if he was elected they themselves have been doing!” Pearl tweeted.
Pearl also took to X once again on Monday morning to respond to U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) calling attention to Harris’ desire to end private healthcare:
Thank you for pointing this out Senator Cotton, except my guess is that like many of her socialist, woke progressive beliefs she's now changing them or hiding them to get elected! We won't get fooled again! https://t.co/qTuLHxjADV
