Former President Donald J. Trump said he would be open to appointing independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a post in his administration should the 2024 Republican nominee retake the White House in November. Speaking with the press following a campaign stop in Michigan on Tuesday, Trump said, regarding Kennedy, “I like him, and I respect him.”
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” the former President said while addressing the possibility that Kennedy may end his presidential bid and back Trump with the expectation he’d receive a political appointment. “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.
