Trump Says He’s ‘Open’ To Having RFK Jr. Join His Administration

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said this week that he is open to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. serving in his administration if he were to win a second term this fall.

Trump’s remarks come after Kennedy reportedly said he reached out to Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’ “highest intermediaries,” who said her team had “no interest in talking.” Kennedy wanted to talk about dropping out of the race and endorsing her campaign in exchange for her giving him a cabinet position. Kennedy lashed out after being rejected and attacked Harris and the Democrat Party.

During a subsequent interview, Trump told CNN he likes and respects RFK Jr.

“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”

Trump said that he would “love” an endorsement from Kennedy because he’s “always liked” him.

He indicated that he “probably would” appoint Kennedy to a role in the administration if Kennedy were to drop out and endorse him.

“I like him a lot. I respect him a lot,” Trump said. “I probably would, if something like that would happen. He’s a very different kind of a guy — a very smart guy. And, yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement, certainly.”

While Kennedy is a lifelong Democrat, he has attacked the party harder than he has the Republican Party over the course of the election.

RFK Jr. continued those attacks on Tuesday when he called out the party for trying to rebrand itself as the “party of liberty.”

“Kamala Harris says that Americans should make personal decisions without the ‘government telling them what to do.’ Tim Walz’s Golden Rule is ‘Mind your own damn business,'” he posted on X. “In view of the censorship, surveillance, vaccine mandates, and the confederacy of fixers openly working to prevent me from getting on ballots, this is like the arsonist telling us he’s a firefighter.”

The Democratic Party positions itself as the party of liberty.
