Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has garnered some respect on the right despite his Democratic Party roots because of his opposition to vaccine mandates and defense of free speech.
For this reason, some believed it was conceivable that Donald Trump, the front-runner in the GOP presidential race for 2024, might have thought of him as a potential running mate. Unnamed sources were cited in recent reports to support that hypothesis; however, a Trump official swiftly put a stop to any such rumors.
Breitbart reported that reports citing anonymous sources purportedly close to Donald Trump alleging “preliminary overtures” were made to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about serving as the former president’s running mate in 2024 are fake news, the Trump campaign declared Sunday.
Fox News cited the New York Post as its primary source for the claim that Kennedy, 70, was considered as a potential running mate for Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
“Trump operatives expressed an interest in Kennedy early on, but it was all premature,” one person familiar with the matter told the outlet, adding it was “right out of the box when Bobby announced” in April 2023 that he was making a run for the White House.
This is 100% FAKE NEWS – NO ONE from the Trump Campaign ever approached RFK jr (or ever will) – one of the most LIBERAL and radical environmentalists in the country. For all the fake news- update your stories. https://t.co/HYBJLqSux0

Kennedy also made news this week with comments that seemed to signal he’s considering a Libertarian Party bid as a way to earn a spot on ballots nationwide in November’s general election.
