Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to address the nation about his path forward in the presidential race this Friday.
Kennedy's press secretary, Stefanie Spear, posted the announcement about “the current historic moment and her path forward” on social media Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes after Kennedy's running mate Nicole Shanahan criticized Democrats on Tuesday, saying she “fully supports” a role for Kennedy in a future Trump administration. Shanahan also hinted that they could end their campaign and endorse former President Trump.

Kennedy Jr. shied away from his move to communicate his heart through back-channel leaks. Nor would he ever, especially at this important time for all of us. So please stand by until you hear from him.”
