Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, has withdrawn his petition to appear on the Arizona ballot, according to a spokesman for the Arizona Secretary of State's office. This move, confirmed by multiple sources including ABC News, is seen as a significant indication that Kennedy plans to exit the presidential race. The withdrawal comes just a day before he is rumored to announce his departure from the race entirely and endorse former President Donald Trump. Arizona, a key battleground state, was a crucial part of Kennedy's campaign strategy. Kennedy's running mate and electors have also filed paperwork to withdraw, further signaling the campaign's conclusion.
