Trump met with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to seek endorsement

RFJ Jr.'s campaign says.

"Yes, Mr. Kennedy met with President Trump on Monday to discuss national unity, and he hopes to meet with leaders of the Democratic Party as well. And no, he is not dropping out of the race. He is the only pro-environment, pro-choice, anti-war candidate who beats Donald Trump in head-to-head polls," Press Secretary Stefanie Spear says.

A Trump spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment.

Former President Donald Trump met this morning in Milwaukee with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss the possibility of the independent candidate endorsing the Republican nominee, according to multiple people familiar with the huddle.

Asked about the meeting and a potential endorsement, Kennedy denied that he plans to drop out of the race.

"An endorsement by Kennedy, who hits double digits in some polls, would scramble the race for White House and give a boost to Trump."

Please stay in the race and take votes away from Biden.

Thank you RFK Jr.

If RFK Jr was really serious about all of the things Spear mentioned, he wouldn't waste time talking w/Trump about unity, since he's opposed to his stances on every one of those issues. Hopefully the Prez doesn't waste his time meeting with him.

The secret is he is actually vp. They were waiting for Bobby to get SS protection (which came after vp reveal) and for Trump to secure the nomination.

That’s my theory and if I’m wrong- Dems have an opportunity to recruit RFK jr as their Nominee and pull the Domcratic Base more toward the center

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
