Pro-Bitcoin Politician Robert F. Kennedy Gives Up His Candidacy, Supports Republican Presidential Candidate Trump

RFK follows footsteps of Vivek Ramaswamy, leaving the presidential election race and urging supporters to back Donald Trump.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent figure in the Kennedy political dynasty and an independent presidential candidate, has announced his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race and endorse Donald Trump.

Kennedy, who had positioned himself as a candidate sympathetic to the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry, made this announcement during a speech, emphasising his shared views with Trump on issues like border security, freedom of speech, and opposition to what he perceives as the Democratic Party’s authoritarian tendencies.

Kennedy’s decision marks a significant shift, as he has been a lifelong Democrat. His departure from the party last year was marked by his criticism of its direction, accusing it of being aligned with corporate interests and censorship. By endorsing Trump, Kennedy aims to consolidate the anti-establishment vote, focusing on battleground states where he believes he can influence the election outcome.

This move is part of Kennedy’s broader strategy to create a significant political movement independent of traditional party lines, despite his dwindling poll numbers and the scepticism of many mainstream political analysts.

First Vivek Ramaswamy & Now RFK: Good For Crypto

It is worth noting that Vivek Ramaswamy and RFK both gained significant attention from the crypto sector because of their respective Bitcoin-supportive stances. A few months ago, Vivek Ramaswamy quit the candidacy race and asked his followers to support Donald Trump. 

Now, a similar move is seen by RFK, who was primarily advocating for Bitcoin as a key factor to improve the US economy and establish a more transparent economic zone in the country.

Crypto experts believe this is a very good move for the Bitcoin & crypto sector because RFK was not seen as likely to win the upcoming election, as he couldn’t rely solely on Bitcoin as a key factor to garner votes from American citizens. 

Donald Trump has already clarified his stance on Bitcoin and asked people to vote for him in the upcoming presidential election if they want to see Bitcoin adoption in the country.
