JFK’s nephew drops out of presidential race to endorse Donald Trump

Robert F Kennedy Jr has abandoned his independent presidential bid to endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump. 
The news emerged in court documents filed by his campaign team.

A Pennsylvania court filing asked to remove him from the state’s ballot, according to the AP.
And on Thursday, Arizona officials said Mr Kennedy filed paperwork to remove himself from the presidential ballot there.
Mr Kennedy is the nephew of former US president John F Kennedy, who was assassinated in Dallas in 1963.

He is also the son of former US attorney general Robert F Kennedy, JFK’s brother, who later launched his own presidential bid. He was assassinated in 1968.
Despite his family’s history with the Democratic Party, RFK Jr was running as an independent.
