Robert F Kennedy Junior is running for the presidency as an independent, but he has reportedly discussed ending his campaign and endorsing his Republican rival Donald Trump in exchange for a job in his administration, Report informs via The Independent.
Kennedy recently spoke with Trump to discuss the possibility of dropping out of the race and throwing his support to the former president, according to The Washington Post, citing four people familiar with the talks.
Trump called Kennedy in the hours after Trump was nearly killed in an apparent assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, and he floated the possibility of a cabinet-level position or other senior role charged with health and medical issues, according to The Post.
No deal was made, and Trump’s team was reportedly concerned about the optics of a quid pro quo.
Kennedy and Trump have not denied that they spoke but neither campaigns have confirmed any job offers were laid on the table.
Kennedy and Trump also made plans to meet in Milwaukee during last week’s Republican National Convention, according to The Post.
