If former President Donald Trump returns to the White House, he wants Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “to help pick the people who will be running the government.”
That admission came from Kennedy himself during an interview with Tucker Carlson Monday.
“I’m gonna work to get him elected, and, you know, I’m working with the campaign. We’re working on policy issues together,” Kennedy said.
He said: “I’ve been asked to go on to the transition team and, you know, to help pick the pick who will be running the government, and I’m looking forward to that. I’m gonna fight. I don’t know what would happen to me if we lose.”
Trump’s transition team already includes donors Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick as co-chairs and sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump as honorary co-chairs, per Axios.
On Friday, Kennedy announced he was suspending his own presidential ambitions as an independent and was endorsing Trump, IJR reported on.
Kennedy said he believed staying in the race could hurt Trump in November in key swing states, Axios reported.
When Carlson asked Kennedy “What happens, if he loses, to you?” Kennedy responded “I never really think about that. What I think is, OK, here’s what I gotta do today, and you know, get up every day and say, ‘Reporting for duty, sir,’ and then go do that.”
“You know, nothing’s a crisis, everything’s a task, right? So that’s what I’m gonna be. Kind of a happy warrior. I know what I have to do so I’m gonna do it,” Kennedy added.
