Kennedy, balancing MAHA and White House, says he won't run for president in 2028
cbsnews ^

RFK Jr. is caught between his MAHA supporters who want him to do more to advance their priorities and a White House trying to combat Trump's unpopularity.

Kennedy's draw weakens beyond MAHA circles. 1,600 attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference found nearly zero support for him as a presidential candidate.

It's really a throwaway topic but the interest is in how he's on the road supporting republican candidates. He would be ineffective if congress flipped and the ruffled feathers he creates works for us in a way that must be continued. 2029-What new job could he do for the nation? The feather ruffling could continue if he was Secretary of State. That would be the perfect rehash of his uncle's legacy.

The Kennedy clan can be screwed up so his estrangement’s gotta be tough on him but his service to the country is doing a service to restore the family name. They can thank Trump. We’ll wait.

I don’t think he had much of a chance anyway

“ caught between his MAHA supporters who want him to do more to advance their priorities and a White House trying to combat Trump’s unpopularity”

His unpopularity? With who? With the CBS newsroom?

I “kind of” admire ole RFK but I don’t have fond memories of JFK and the media idolatry that surrounded him and then there was the known murderer brother Edward and then there was the so called “Attorney General Robert”. It just seems GRIEF surrounds the Kennedy’s!! I recall John Jr. flying his plane into the drink and Jacqueline marrying an old Greek guy for his money...........AND, I’m sure there are other “Kennedy’s”. Who am I missing? It’s just depressing to even think about the word “Presidency” and the word “Kennedy”. Except for that unrelated Kennedy from Louisiana. JFK did pull a sailor a mile or two (they say). That was GOOD.

He’s done his part.
More than most of us.

I say “Thank you”, and look forward to his continuing good counsel.
America will need it.

Let’s see. There’s Will Smith the rapist and the one who OD’d in Sacramento. Don’t forget old grandpa Joe who lobotomized his daughter and banged her. Then there’s the wannabe congressman in NY who’s really out there. JFK stood up to the military industrial complex and the CIA. It got him killed. RFK Jr. is carrying on his work but as a non-contender for the WH he’s effectively on a leash. The country has gotten tired of the family legacy and has moved on. Hopefully the Schlossberg fella will lose.

Lol, JFK did good on the Cuban Missile Crisis which I remember well as a little boy. It scared the hell out of me. But, he banged more girls in the Oval Office than Bill Clinton. I never followed Will Smith much. I’ll have to look him up. Caroline’s son is just an omg! I will likely be gone by then! Thankfully.

You missed Jack, Caroline’s scary and insane son. And he’s running for some political office, I think. And will probably win.
