Days after dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Donald Trump, independent White House candidate Robert F Kennedy Jrhas revealed what forced him to take the call.
RFK stated that his campaign failed to gain steam due to "censorship" by the media.
"It became clear to me that I did not have a path to victory," Kennedy said. "Sixteen months of censorship, of not being able to get on any network really except for Fox," said RFK inan interview with Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday".
"When Ross Perot ran, in the 10 months that he ran, he had 34 appearances on the networks. I had two appearances in 16 months, so I was blocked out of the networks, and I was blocked out of the debate. I had no path to victory."
As for extending his support to Trump and not the Democrats, RFK said the former president had been reaching out to his campaign periodically, with the two speaking just a few hours after the failed assassination attempt against the republican leader last month.
"He [Trump] invited me to form a unity government. We agreed that we'd be able to continue to criticize each other on the issues where we don't agree, but these issues are so important and they're a way of unifying the country," Kennedy added.

Kennedy's support for Trump
Kennedy, 70, the son of late Democratpolitician and US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, started his campaign as a Democrat, challenging President Joe Biden for the nomination.
However, In October last year, Kennedy dropped out of the Democratic primary race to pursue his independent bid for the presidency. For a short period, both the Biden and Trump campaigns showed signs they were worried that Kennedy could draw enough support to change the election outcome.
The tide has since changed and Kennedy's support to Trump is expected to provide a marginal gain to the former president. RFK, however, has trained his guns on the Democrats for not being 'democratic' enough in choosing their presidential candidate.
After Biden dropped out of the race, the Democrats named Kamala Harris as their candidate despite the vice president not having won a single primary.
