Dynamic Duo Or Total Disaster: What If Trump Chooses RFK Jr. As VP?

In an unexpected political development, sources close to former President Trump have reportedly approached Robert F. Kennedy regarding a potential vice-presidential candidacy, according to information obtained by The Post.

"Trump's team showed interest in Kennedy early on, but it was all quite premature," revealed an insider, who wished to remain anonymous. This interest was reportedly piqued immediately after Kennedy announced his presidential bid in April 2023. The source added, "Anything's possible. I wouldn't write it off by any means."

Kennedy, now 70, initially launched his campaign as a Democrat but has since declared himself an independent. He has consistently dismissed rumors of accepting a vice-presidential role alongside Trump.

Timothy Mellon, a significant contributor to Kennedy's SuperPAC, having donated at least $5 million, commented on the speculation, saying, "I've heard the concept. It's not surprising."

Another prominent donor, who has financially supported both Trump and Kennedy, suggested that the idea of drafting Kennedy, the son of the assassinated former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, is still very much alive within Trump's circles. "It's very much behind the scenes at this stage. As we progress, you might see it bubble up a little bit more," the donor hinted. "Bobby can bring new people to the polls."

Kennedy, a well-known anti-vaxxer, would make an unusual pairing with Trump, who famously funded the development of the coronavirus vaccine during the pandemic.

However, Steve Bannon, Trump's former chief White House strategist, has also advocated for this potential alliance. In August, he predicted that a Trump-Kennedy ticket would result in a "massive landslide."

As Trump's decisive wins in Iowa and New Hampshire solidify his position as the likely 2024 presidential nominee, speculation is rife about his choice of running mate. Names such as New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, and Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio have been mentioned in recent discussions.
