In a recent revelation, former President Donald Trump expressed his willingness to consider Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a role in his administration.
This statement came with a condition - Kennedy would have to abandon his own presidential campaign and extend his endorsement to Trump. In a conversation with CNN, Trump stated, "I like him a lot. I respect him a lot. I probably would, if something like [an endorsement] would happen."
According to The Post Millennial, this development followed a disclosure by Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy's running mate, who admitted that the campaign was contemplating two options. One was to persist in the race, and the other was to withdraw and endorse Trump. Shanahan explained the dilemma, "Theres two options that were looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump." She further added, "We walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and we explain to our base why were making this decision."
Shanahan also revealed that the Kennedy campaign had been in talks with the Trump team, and the feedback from the Trump camp was "very positive." Despite their policy differences, Kennedy has been vocal in his criticism of the Biden-Harris administration's political prosecution of Trump.
Kennedy, commenting on the time when Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsification of business records, a charge typically treated as a misdemeanor offense, stated, "I'd say this was probably the weakest case people brought against him." He further expressed his belief that this legal action would ultimately benefit Trump. "My belief is that it will end up helping President Trump among a large part of [the] American public who believes that the judicial system, the enforcement system, have been weaponized against [him] politically. That's bad for our country," he said.
Kennedy also criticized the Democratic Party for their strategy, saying, "I think the Democratic Party believes it has a candidate that can't beat President Trump and that they need to do it in the court, and I think that's bad for our country, I think it's bad for democracy, and I think it's politically going to backfire on them." These developments hint at a potential shift in the political landscape, with alliances being reconsidered and strategies being redrawn.
