 The decisaion is not yet finalized , as those close to Kennedy tell USA Today they do not expect him to drop out. 


Kennedy's campaign announced earlier today that he will make an address to the nation on August 23 in Arizona, where he will talk about "the present historical moment and his path forward."


An ABC reporter said in a post on X he asked Kennedy if he would endorse  Trump. "I will not confirm or deny that," Kennedy said, according to the reporter. "We are not talking about any of that."
