Former President Donald Trump expressed his gratitude for the endorsement of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stating that he was 'very honored' to receive it. Trump described Kennedy as a 'great asset' and even hinted at the possibility of appointing him to a role in his administration.
In an interview with Dr. Phil that aired on Friday night, Trump shared his appreciation for Kennedy's support, mentioning their longstanding acquaintance and friendly relationship. Kennedy, who had recently announced the suspension of his own presidential campaign, declared his endorsement of Trump at a news conference on the same day.
While Trump acknowledged that he and Kennedy had not yet discussed any specific role in his potential administration, he emphasized the value that Kennedy could bring. Trump highlighted Kennedy's contributions to the election and potential future endeavors, praising his 'very interesting ideas and good ideas.'
The interview with Dr. Phil took place following Kennedy's endorsement of Trump, with Kennedy joining the former president on stage at a rally in Arizona. The public display of support further solidified the bond between the two figures and underscored Kennedy's backing of Trump's candidacy.
