Former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Monday that he was asked to join President Donald Trump’s transition team if he wins in November.
Kennedy shared the news during an interview with Tucker Carlson posted to X.
“We’re working on policy issues together,” Kennedy told Carlson during the nearly 90-minute conversation.
“I’ve been asked to go on to the transition team, you know, to help pick the people who will be running the government, and I’m looking forward to that,” Kennedy added.
Kennedy joined Trump at his Arizona rally on Friday where he was warmly welcomed.
“Tonight, I’m very pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible champion for so many of these values that we all share, and we’ve shared them for a long time,” Trump said in his introduction. “I think he’s going to have a huge influence on this campaign.”
Kennedy mentioned his plans during his endorsement that included references to his family’s long political legacy.
“My dad and uncle made such an enduring mark on the character of our nation, not so much because of any particular policies that they promoted, but because they were able to inspire profound love for our country and to fortify our sense of ourselves as a national community held together by ideals, they were able to put their love into the intentions and hearts of ordinary Americans and to unify a national populist movement of Americans, blacks and whites, Hispanics, urban and rural Americans, inspired affection and love and high hopes and a culture of kindness that continue to radiate among Americans from their memory,” he said on Friday.
“That’s the spirit on which I ran my campaign and that I intend to bring into the campaign of President Trump,” he continued.
As RSBN previously reported, Kennedy criticized the Democratic Party and its “installation” of Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee. He also slammed what the party has become.
“It became the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Money,” he stated.
Kennedy was running for president as an Independent. He previously ran as a Democrat against President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary and switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Independent in October 2023.
