RFK Jr. Responds To Reports Of Seeking Meeting With Kamala Harris About Possible Endorsement
Multiple outlets reported that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought a meeting with Kamala Harris about possibly having a role in her administration in exchange for an endorsement.
RFK Jr. called the reports “fake news.”
“I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her,” he said.
“VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values. The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala‘s is riddled with neocon warmongers,” RFK Jr. said.
“The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street. My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites. I’ve used our nation’s courts to prosecute corporations who hurt Black Americans. VP Harris used our nation’s courts to mercilessly prosecute Black Americans and exploit them for their labor,” he continued.
“My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country. VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middleschool tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!) and name calling (‘Republicans are weird.’) I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief,” he added.

“Hopefully you didn’t write this the day after being turned down for a position in her admin. Because that would look very bad for you. Hopefully that story is more fake news and you truly do hate Kamala’s communism,” one X user commented.

“I didn’t ask Kamala Harris for a cabinet position,” he said.
“I’ve reached out to all the candidates. I met with Donald Trump, I met with the Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver,” he added.

Per Axios:
Kennedy was once viewed as a potential spoiler in the Biden-Trump race, but recent polling shows the third-party candidate losing footing in the Harris-Trump contest.
Kennedy reportedly sought a discussion through intermediaries about endorsing Harris in exchange for a role in the administration, but Harris and her advisers did not offer a meeting time or express interest, the Washington Post wrote.
“I think it is a strategic mistake for them. That’s my perspective,” Kennedy said in a Wednesday interview with the Post. “I think they ought to be looking at every opportunity. I think it is going to be a very close race.”
After several outlets reported the outreach Wednesday, Kennedy insisted Thursday he is staying in the race, writing in an X post, “I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her.”
