RFK Jr. and Trump Discussed Potential White House Role in Exchange for Endorsement

Talks between the independent candidate and former president stalled over concerns about optics and legal implications.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump discussed a potential endorsement deal involving a White House job for Kennedy.
The conversations began shortly after an assassination attempt on Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13.
Both sides expressed concerns about the legality and optics of promising a job in exchange for an endorsement.
A leaked video of their phone call showed Trump and Kennedy discussing vaccine skepticism and potential roles.
Despite the talks, Kennedy remains in the presidential race and criticizes the Democratic National Committee.
