Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has denied reports suggesting that he sought a position in a hypothetical Democratic administration. The accusations arose this week, claiming that Kennedy had reached out to Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris' team to discuss the possibility of working within a future Cabinet.
During a live-streamed event called 'TikTok Town Hall,' Kennedy refuted the claims, stating, 'That's fake news. I didn't ask Kamala Harris for a Cabinet position but I've reached out to all the candidates. I've met with some.' He further mentioned meeting with Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver as part of his efforts to engage with all candidates in the presidential election.
Kennedy emphasized his focus on unifying the country and addressing key issues such as ending wars. He expressed uncertainty about serving in a potential Harris-Walz administration unless significant changes were made, noting, 'I believe it would be tough for me to work with their administration unless they committed to a lot of different changes.'
A report from sources claimed that Kennedy sought a meeting with Harris in hopes of securing a Cabinet secretary position in her future administration. Despite facing setbacks, including a recent ruling against his ballot appearance in New York, Kennedy remains committed to his presidential campaign, aiming to win the election with the support of his dedicated followers.
Notably, Kennedy was recorded engaging in discussions with former President Trump at a convention in Milwaukee, where potential positions in Trump's administration were hinted at. However, Kennedy continues to campaign actively and engage with the media, while also considering the possibility of collaborating with either Harris or Trump if they align with his vision for the country.
Polling data indicates that Kennedy has emerged as one of the most disruptive independent candidates in recent decades, showcasing broad appeal and strong support from his followers.
