Former President Donald Trump recently hinted at potential future administration roles for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. after the independent presidential candidate suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump. Trump praised Kennedy as a talented and popular individual with a wonderful family, expressing his honor at the endorsement.
During his speech, Kennedy mentioned that Trump had asked him to join his administration, with a focus on addressing the chronic disease epidemic. While Kennedy plans to stay on the ballot in most states, he will withdraw his name from swing states.
Trump acknowledged that not everyone agrees with all of Kennedy's views, particularly his controversial opinions on vaccines and the coronavirus. Kennedy has expressed skepticism about vaccines and made claims about the coronavirus being ethnically targeted.
When asked about Kennedy's assertion that the coronavirus vaccine was the deadliest ever made, Trump deferred his response until he could meet with Kennedy in person. He also criticized Democrats for allegedly obstructing Kennedy's path to running in their primary, suggesting that Kennedy could have defeated Biden if he had run as a Democrat.
Despite the differences in their views, Trump described Kennedy as a respected and beloved figure. He also commented on efforts to remove Kennedy from certain ballots, indicating that the situation would need to be resolved.
