RFK Jr. Endorses Donald Trump, Suspends Campaign

RFK Jr. Endorses Donald Trump, Suspends Campaign

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose conspiracy-minded presidential campaign failed to gain traction with the American public, suspended his campaign Friday and endorse Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. That could be a boon for Democrats who have centered their message on what they see as Trump's fringe beliefs.

This episode: national political correspondent Sarah McCammon, political reporter Stephen Fowler, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
