Donald Trump welcomed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. onstage during his rally in Arizona on Friday night, saying the independent ran an "extraordinary campaign" hours after Kennedy endorsed the former president.
"With all those votes he was getting, he has a lot of votes that he could have gotten ... I think he's going to have a huge influence on this campaign," Trump said near the beginning of his event in Glendale, a suburb of Phoenix.
Trump went on to say that if elected, he would establish a commission on assassination attempts in honor of Kennedy. Kennedy’s father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy Sr., and uncle, President John F. Kennedy, were both assassinated. The commission, Trump said, would be tasked with releasing remaining documents on the 1963 presidential assassination — records that Trump didn't release when he was in office.
In his remarks, Kennedy recounted having talked with Trump about issues that he said "bind us together," including "having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic."
"Don't you want a president that's going to make America healthy again?" asked Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine advocate who suspended his presidential campaign Friday.
