Former President Donald Trump’s “emissaries,” according to independent presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr., invited him to be Trump’s running mate.
“President Trump refers to me as an extremist on the far left.” His agents urged me to be his vice president because I am so liberal. With grace, I turned down the offer,” Kennedy tweeted.
Senior advisor to the Trump campaign, Chris LaCivita, asserted that no one from the Trump team had contacted Kennedy regarding a vice presidential role.
“Resuming from January…was accurate back then, as it is now, @RobertfKennedJr. You are a left-wing loony who would never be asked to be on the ticket. I apologize.” “NO ONE from the Trump Campaign ever gone to RFK Jr. (or ever will)—one of the most LIBERAL and extreme environmentalists in the country,” LaCivita said in a January post that he shared on Twitter.
Kennedy is “the most radical left candidate in the campaign,” according to Trump, who has also expressed his liking for him and noted that there are “some wonderful things about him. ” Kennedy “will perform extremely well,” he believes, and “steal many votes away from dishonest Joe Biden.” Kennedy is a “greater man than Joe Biden,” according to Trump, who also referred to Kennedy as an “extreme left Democrat.”
The Republican front-runner for president in 2024, Donald Trump, has not yet revealed his choice of running partner.
Last month, Kennedy said that Nicole Shanahan was to be his running mate.
