Trump Promises Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a Role in His Administration if Elected

Former President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would serve in his administration if he regains the White House.

In an interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump confirmed the potential alliance when asked about names being considered for key positions in a future administration.

“He’s going to be a part of it,” Trump stated, noting Kennedy’s significant focus on women’s health and environmental issues. The 45th president’s remarks followed Kennedy’s earlier tweet, in which he suggested he could be appointed to help the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“When @realDonaldTrump gets me inside the USDA, we’re going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys soil, makes people sick, and harms family farms,” Kennedy tweeted, outlining his vision for reform in American agriculture. He emphasised his commitment to revitalising the sector: “American agriculture will come roaring back, and so will American health.”

Since dropping his independent presidential campaign to endorse Trump in August, Kennedy has hinted at receiving a key position in the Trump administration if the former president defeats Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.

However, Kennedy’s recent controversies may complicate his prospects for a cabinet position that requires Senate confirmation. Reports of a scandal involving a personal relationship with New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, which included allegations of sexting, have emerged, leaving Kennedy’s political future uncertain.

Despite these challenges, Trump could create a role for Kennedy in his administration, similar to how President Biden appointed John Kerry as a special presidential envoy for climate. This approach would allow Kennedy to contribute without undergoing the Senate confirmation process.
