The independent presidential candidate wants to discuss the possibility of serving in any Harris administration in return for backing her campaign.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr sought a meeting last week with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to discuss the possibility of serving in her administration, perhaps as a cabinet secretary, if he supports her campaign, and she wins, according to Kennedy campaign officials.
The independent candidate and namesake of the most famous American political dynasty is exploring options for the future of his presidential effort, which has seen a decline in national polling since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
Kennedy said he hoped Harris reconsidered his offer of a meeting. “I think it is a strategic mistake for them. That’s my perspective,” Kennedy said. “I think they ought to be looking at every opportunity. I think it is going to be a very close race.” Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr talks during a campaign event held during the presidential debate.Kennedy’s campaign reached out earlier this summer to Democratic intermediaries, including Hollywood talent agent Ari Emanuel and director Rob Reiner, in the hopes of starting a dialogue with Democratic officials, according to people familiar with the effort who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. No meetings resulted.
Klain said in a text message on Wednesday that he heard secondhand that the Kennedy campaign was trying to reach him, but that he did not respond to the request.
