Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made an unexpected change in his stance on the 2024 presidential race.

Previously, he had advised his supporters to vote for former President Donald Trump only in key swing states, but on Tuesday, Kennedy revised his position.

In a social media post, RFK Jr. declared that supporting Trump now signifies endorsing his movement and campaign principles. Consequently, he is now urging his supporters to vote for Trump regardless of their state of residence.

“Bottom line: No matter what state you live in, VOTE TRUMP. A Trump victory is a Kennedy victory,” RFK Jr. tweeted early Tuesday morning.

In a two-minute video, Kennedy explained his reasoning, citing the ongoing threats to free speech and the need for immediate action to protect constitutional rights.

“A lot of people are asking me if they live in a red state or a blue state, should they still be voting for me? What about swing states? The answer is easy—no. No matter what state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump. And let me tell you why,” Kennedy began.

He noted further that Trump’s re-election is vital to combating the “relentless attack” on free speech and the increasing control that government agencies have over public discourse. “Right now, free speech is under withering and relentless attack in America and across the globe,” he said.

“But at least we still have enough of it here, and you can watch this video. We can still run an opposition political campaign. Well, in a lot of countries, you can’t do that anymore because the state now controls the media,” Kennedy added.

He pointed to recent events in Brazil, where Twitter was banned after Elon Musk refused to comply with the government’s censorship demands. He also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for suggesting that Musk could lose his platform if he didn’t adhere to certain regulations.

RFK Jr. used the example to bolster his argument that the Democratic establishment — not Republicans — views free speech as a privilege rather than a fundamental right.

In his message, Kennedy called for unity to “overthrow the entrenched elites” and restore the Constitution. “We have to unify. We have to overthrow the entrenched elites who are now ruining our country. So let’s get Donald Trump elected on November 5th so that we can restore our Constitution, revive the middle class, rescue our democracy, and end censorship and surveillance.”
