RFK Jr.'s sister Kerry Kennedy to stump in Phoenix for Harris after brother endorses Trump

Kerry Kennedy, perhaps the most outspoken sibling of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will campaign Tuesday in Arizona in support of the Democratic presidential ticket her brother spurned in favor of Republican former President Donald Trump.

The visit serves as a reminder of the disapproval RFK has found from many in his famous family as he has drifted from a Democratic presidential candidate to an independent to a prominent supporter of Trump.

On Friday, Robert Kennedy announced in Phoenix that he was suspending his presidential campaign in swing states and backing Trump. He took the stage with Trump later that day during Trump’s packed rally in Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena.

In response, his sister Kerry Kennedy will speak at multiple undisclosed events in Phoenix with organized labor leader Dolores Huerta, who helped mobilize Latinos with Kennedy’s father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy Sr., leading up to the fateful California primary in his 1968 presidential campaign. Kennedy Sr. was assassinated on June 6, 1968.
