Robert F. Kennedy Jr's Potential Endorsement: Trump's Strategic Move
Trump's Push for Robert F. Kennedy Jr's Endorsement
ASHEBORO, N.C. — Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance stated in an interview that former President Donald Trump is actively seeking independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement. Vance emphasized that this pursuit is separate from any discussions about a cabinet position that may be offered in a future administration. He noted, “I know the president’s been working hard for that, but it’s completely separate from whether RFK gets a cabinet position.”
Communications Between Campaigns
According to Vance, there has been ongoing communication between RFK's campaign and Trump's team. He expressed that although he hasn't spoken directly with RFK, many discussions have transpired. He clarified, “There’s been a lot of communication back and forth between RFK, between the campaign.”
- Vance's Denial of Quid Pro Quo
- Vance rejected any notion of offering a cabinet role for an endorsement, deeming it unethical.
Implications of RFK's Support
He pointed out that securing RFK's endorsement might help in attracting Democrats who feel neglected by the current party leadership. Vance remarked, “Kennedy’s support would mean welcoming a lot of those Democrats.”
Trump's Campaign Strategy
Pressed on the implications of Trump's earlier comments regarding a possible cabinet position for RFK, Vance reiterated that Trump is merely focused on obtaining endorsements at this stage. He described Kennedy as an influential figure, suggesting that his coalition could change the election landscape.
