When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential campaign and backed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in August, he told The Epoch Times that it was a “heart-wrenching decision” and a necessary step toward achieving his mission of saving Americans from what he calls “the chronic disease epidemic.”
