Election

Ballot Access - On Friday, August 23, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., spoke in Arizona for almost an hour.  ... He is suspending his campaign but that he will keep his name on the ballot in all but ten battleground states.  He said that if the U.S. had an honest election system, inclusive debates and a better media, he could have won.  He endorsed Donald Trump based on his disagreement with the Democratic ticket on three issues:  health, the Ukraine war, and censorship of social media.  He did say that he has serious disagreements with Donald Trump.
