People close to former President Trump made preliminary overtures to Robert F. Kennedy about the possibility of serving as his running mate, The Post has learned.
“Trump operatives expressed an interest in Kennedy early on, but it was all premature,” said one person familiar with the matter, adding that it was “right out of the box when Bobby announced” in April 2023 he was running for president.
“Anything’s possible. I wouldn’t write it off by any means,” the insider continued.

Um. No.
In every way except one he’s a hard left whack job. His history of womanizing makes Clinton look like a choir boy. Horrid dreadful man!
Don’t believe it.
When Trump is removed by the RNC, I think that’s the way forward.
Since Trump is despised by the GOP and isn’t a real Republican anyway - he should run with a Democrat.
“One thing we have learned over the decades is pandering to the left never helps you in the long run.”
Sadly, Trump believed this, too. Has he learned his lesson? Hope so.
Kennedy should be put in charge of the CIA.
Doubtful there is any truth to this story. RFK Jr other than the vaxx issue is a flaming liberal Democrat. Why on earth would Trump put him a heartbeat from the Presidency? Me and most MAGA voters would be furious.
Trump is what 74? A lot can happen health wise to a 74-year-old. A VP particularly one who assumes power through emergency presidential succession as a minimum should be capable of carrying on the policies of the one who brought him to the dance. Any and all VP considerations should have that in mind. Failure to do so would be irresponsible and frivolous!
I guess your goal is to kill MAGA after Trump leaves office. The VP whoever it is will be anointed rightly or wrongly as the MAGA successor. Pence could have been, but events showed he was a poor choice as VP. DeSantis could have been, but he chose poorly. (Maybe he can redeem himself? Getting out of the race now finishing his governorship campaigning with Trump could make a difference!)
The true bottom line unless we’re just Trump personality cult worshippers Trump is not important. The MAGA principles are! Trump is the current vehicle to carry them. They must continue past Trump. RFK Jr is the polar opposite of those principles!
So yes, by all means choose RFK Jr if you want an authoritarian Marxist a heartbeat from the presidency.
my money is on SC Senator Tim Scott for Trump VP ... not MY first choice, btw ...
Scott fulfills several important VP criteria:
1. pretty much a non-entity (like Pence)
2. willing to exist for four years in a twilight zone of a non-job (like Pence)
3. no threat intellectually (like Pence)
4. likely to toe the MAGA line (like Pence)
5. most importantly though, member of important vocal protected class that normally votes Democrat (unlike Pence) ... plus makes it difficult for the leftist fascist media to attack Trump as racist, and impossible to attack Scott’s race without offending and pissing off the entire cohort at the same time ...
Trump turns 78 this June.
“Trump needs to go nuclear.”
Fetterman, then?
Zactly.
LOL....wouldnt that be sumpn’?
These women all have tougher hides and bigger balls than most men. The men seem to have all been pussified in the past decades. How many conservative manly men do we have these days?
The Dems put up an absolute no-account, no-experience, nonsensical woman in Harris. The Reps could put up a solid, accomplished, tough, can-do woman.
Kennedy would be a disaster. An absolute disaster.
Politics makes strange bedfellows.
Marginally acceptable!
👍
All issues are not equal.
Controlling the Deep State is issue #1.
There are only a handful of politicians who will even touch it.
Most conservative Republicans go crying for the mama if the Deep State even gives them a sideways look.
Ok I guess & guessed wrong. It makes my point even stronger!
If the goal is to kill MAGA once and for all time!
Come on there is no rival.
Liz Cheney.
