Robert Kennedy Jr. has chosen to withdraw from the US presidential race to support Republican nominee Donald Trump.
In a speech addressing the nation, Kennedy said he’s backing Trump’s campaign to save the next generation of Americans.
“I asked myself what choices must I make to maximize my chances to save America’s children and restore national health. I felt that if I refused this opportunity, I would not be able to look myself in the mirror knowing that I could have saved the lives of countless children and reversed this country’s disease epidemic…
President Trump has told me that he wants this to be his legacy. I’m choosing to believe that this time he will follow through… My joining the Trump campaign will be a difficult sacrifice for my wife and children, but worthwhile if there’s even a small chance of saving these kids.
Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country and our children is if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other.”
As an independent candidate, Kennedy made an appearance at the July Bitcoin2024 Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, and said that he wants the US government to buy and hold four million BTC as a “strategic asset.”
He also said he’s “a huge supporter of Bitcoin” and has most of his wealth stored in BTC.
Donald Trump, once a vocal crypto critic, has pivoted and is now staking a position as a pro-digital asset candidate. While speaking at the Bitcoin2024 Conference, Trump said that he would keep the government from unloading its seized BTC on the open market and instruct officials to hold the trove as an investment.
He also said he could use crypto to pay off the country’s $35 trillion national debt but didn’t elaborate on how.
“Who knows, maybe we’ll pay off our $35 trillion [debt], hand ’em a little crypto check, right? We’ll hand ’em a little Bitcoin and wipe out our $35 trillion.”
