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.

If you thought Covid was handled wonderfully with zero regrets, your guy is on the ticket. If you thought the handling of Covid was the worst domestic policy disaster in American history, your guy is also on the ticket!
I believe it. Kennedy came out very early on Twitter and made clear he wasn’t interested. Makes sense why he would do that now but I still think he wants to win in his own right.
This ticket would easily get 60% or more of the popular vote
I would be far more open to this than any establishment republican
Amen.
Trump has learned nothing if he picks him.
I mean look, that endorsement is still up on his lame website! This was illegal dark money from a 501(c)(3) that is of a dollar amount as high as any other same-size non-profit threw at Cankles.
Really we should be asking, "Who is RFKjr going to tap as his VP?"
RFKjr will draw everything from BernieBros to Julias (unwed mothers who think the old man is hot) to the medicare age group who still remember Camelot. He's gotta get the right VP, though.
If he does, he'll hurt Biden tremendously...
A gun-grabbing Yankee Kennedy, hard pass.
Beautiful deconstruction......Trump knows this......be sure of that.
True. Probably shouldn’t underestimate what the Dems/MSM would do with an RFK POTUS candidate either . . .
Bannon was pushing this for a while months ago but the enthusiasm waned dramatically after people started looking into RFK Jr’s sordid past.
Last time President Trump picked a nice calm uninteresting establishment Republican.
If he did that again that would be “learning nothing”.
RFK Jr. is a gamble—with real risk—but it is the exact opposite of the last choice.
On balance I think it is the right move—but there are legitimate arguments against it for sure.
The blame for COVID lies entirely with a short, s----eye guy in a bomb-proof room in Beijing. Some call him Pooh, others Xi Jinping.
Meanwhile, COVID living in your head rent-free 24/7 is probably something you should see a doctor for, no joke.
Kennedy looked askance at being VP when he was running as a Dem.
He’s now an Indy....and has a different perspective.
He’d have a better chance at the 2028 presidency being Trump’s VP....and he knows it.
He’d be a lot better than backstabber Judas Pence
No, no, and NO!
So many better choices...

Yes, I'd like some accountability for the greatest domestic policy disaster of my lifetime.
I totally understand why Trumpers would rather not talk about it and would like the rest of us to forget everything that happened (unless we're blaming Ron DeSantis for propping up Dr. Fauci).
One reason I see potential in RFK Jr. is courage.
Taking on Big Pharma required stunning courage—and he did it for decades.
Almost nobody in public life dared to go there.
Views on policy can change—but courage is something you either have or you do not.
President Trump has it.
RFK Jr. has it.
These are the people you want fighting for you—because you know they will stick to it.
Look at the links there are many more! This is RFK Jr! A leftist nut who has the typical Kennedy attitude toward the women in his life. But you go right ahead and keep worshiping that clan!

A VP does not have that much power.....he can only do what the president signs off on.
A VP cannot even have classified documents, for instance.
