Trump: I May Cut a Deal With RFK Jr. Soon
Former President Donald Trump said he would consider appointing independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a cabinet position if he were to drop out and endorse the Republican—a move his vice presidential candidate said the ticket was considering the same day.
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump told CNN, adding that he would be “honored” by the endorsement. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it,” Trump said.
The former president said he “probably would” consider Kennedy for a cabinet position—something the independent campaign seems to be angling for in recent weeks.
