RFK Jr. to make first stop in Arizona since announcing Trump endorsement

GLENDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be coming to Arizona later this week, marking the first time the political figure will be visiting the state since his endorsement of former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy will be joined by former Hawaii U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard on the “Team Trump’s Reclaim America Tour.” The appearance will be on Saturday at Arizona Christian University, Firestorm Recreation Center, near 59th Avenue and Greenway Road.

Doors will open at 4 p.m., and the event will begin at 6 p.m. Guests can register for tickets here.

Kennedy previously visited Arizona in late August to announce he was suspending his presidential campaign and backing Trump. He said internal polls showed that his presence in the race would hurt Trump and help Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

“These are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent and now to throw my support to President Trump,” Kennedy said during his speech.

Later that evening, Kennedy was a “special guest” at Trump’s event at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale.
