GLENDALE, Ariz.—Former President Donald Trump introduced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the “special guest” at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, just hours after Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign.

Kennedy, 70, a former Democrat, withdrew his candidacy as an independent candidate on Aug. 23 amid sagging polls and backed Republican nominee Trump in the 2024 election.
