Former President Donald Trump speaks in Nevada and Arizona
UPDATE (8:51 PM): Former President Donald Trump welcomed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Friday night to his rally in Arizona, where the crowd burst into cheers.
"His candidacy has inspired millions and millions of Americans, raised critical issues that have been too long ignored in this country, and brought together people from across the political spectrum in a positive campaign grounded in the American values of his father, Robert Kennedy, a great man, and his uncle, President John F Kennedy. And I know that they are looking down right now, and they are very, very proud of Bobby. I'm proud of Bobby if you want to know the truth."

Kennedy suspended his Independent presidential campaign earlier Friday and endorsed Trump.
Trump says he believes Kennedy's endorsement will have a "huge" influence on the campaign.
If elected, Trump says he will establish a commission on assassination attempts in honor of Kennedy, whose father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy Sr., and uncle, President John F. Kennedy, were both assassinated.
"This is a tribute in honor of Bobby, I am announcing tonight that upon my election, I will establish a new independent presidential commission on assassination attempts. And they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and they will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month."

At the rally, Kennedy said he and Trump agreed on having safe food, ending the "chronic disease epidemic," stopping the funding of foreign wars such as Ukraine and stopping censorship in America.
"The whole basis of American democracy is the free flow of information, and we know that a government that can silence its opponents has license for any kind of atrocity. And can you think of any time that you can look back in history and say that the people who were censoring were the good guys, they're always the bad guys, because it's always the first step down that slippery slope to totalitarianism."
