Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has confirmed that he has been asked to serve on former President Donald Trump's transition team after endorsing the Republican nominee. In an interview with conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson, Kennedy stated that he is actively campaigning for Trump and is engaged in discussions about policy issues with Trump's team. These discussions also include considerations for potential staff for the next administration.
Kennedy expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity, stating, 'I've been asked to go on to the transition team, and, you know – to help pick the people who will be running the government. And I'm looking forward to that.'
Source has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment on this development.
This latest revelation sheds light on the ongoing conversations between Kennedy and Trump both before and after Kennedy's endorsement. Prior to suspending his presidential campaign, Kennedy and Trump had multiple discussions, including the possibility of Kennedy withdrawing from the race in exchange for a role in the Trump administration. Following his withdrawal, both Kennedy and Trump hinted at Kennedy overseeing a health-related portfolio in the next Trump administration.
