RFK Jr. Refutes Report That He Approached Harris For Cabinet Position
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Jeff LouderbackDuring an Aug. 15 Latino Town Hall on TikTok, he told the moderators that the story is "fake news."
"I didn't ask for a cabinet position," Kennedy said.
"I want to meet with all candidates about dampening down the rhetoric and unifying our country."
Kennedy said candidates, including former President Donald Trump and Libertarian presidential nominee Chase Oliver, have met with him.
"Kamala Harris said she doesn't want to [meet]," he said.
Kennedy has repeatedly said at campaign stops and in interviews with media outlets and on podcasts that he would always welcome conversations with opposing candidates, media outlets, and podcasters who do not share his views.
He told The Epoch Times that many Democrats and Republicans acknowledge the division in America but then get mad "if you meet with Trump or Kamala Harris." He said he is "willing to take the heat by working to build a bridge between both sides."
Kennedy, who is attempting to get on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, met with Trump last month in Milwaukee during the Republican National Convention. The Washington Post reported that Kennedy discussed dropping out of the race to back the former president and join his administration if he returns to the White House.
The purpose of meeting with President Trump was to talk about the chronic disease epidemic and children's health, Kennedy said. He denied that he would end his presidential bid and support the former president.
Democrats and Republicans alike have expressed concern that Kennedy could take away votes from their respective presidential candidates.
Earlier this year, the DNC hired Lis Smith, a veteran Democrat strategist who managed Pete Buttigieg's 2020 presidential campaign, to spearhead an aggressive communication plan to combat Kennedy, independent Cornel West, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
