Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with Dr. Phil on “Merit TV” about his decision to drop out of the presidential race and endorse Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

“Do you feel like you may be the one who selects the next president, by your influence?” Phil asked Kennedy.<\/p>\n

“That’s possible,” said Kennedy. “If I had stayed on the ballot on the swing states. What I’ve done is taken my name off the ballot in ten states that are swing states, we’re leaving my name on the ballot in the red states and blue states so people can vote for me without consequence. They’re not going to be scared, ‘POh, the bad guy is gonna get elected!’ We know who’s going to get elected in those states. So it allows people to vote for me… without any consequence.”<\/p>\n

“What we recognized from our polling is if I stayed in the race, it would have almost certainly swung the race to Vice President Harris, who is trying to throw me off the ballot in all those states, ironically. I thought that would not be a good outcome because I differ with her on all the issues.”<\/p>\n

“I didn’t think it would be right to give the election to her,” Kennedy said about Kamala Harris. “And our polling from the beginning showed pretty consistently that if I got out of the race, 57% of the people who were supporting me would vote for Trump.”<\/p>\n

“So just getting out of the race, I think makes it a fair race between them,” he said. “I think my decision makes it much more likely that President Trump will be elected… Even though I gre up in the Democratic Party and I had the same orientation towards, and abhorrence for President Trump as many Democrats four years ago, mainly because of his environmental stances, with which I continue to disagree. But my conversations with President Trump were very amiable. He talked about a unity party, President Lincoln and his team of rivals. I could come in and support him because of these existential issues — censorship, war, chronic disease — that I feel strongly about and he feels strongly about, and Kamala is on the wrong side.\u201d<\/p>\n
