Trump Adds Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to Transition Team

HeadlineAug 28, 2024

In campaign news, Donald Trump has added two former Democrats to his transition team: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Kennedy suspended his independent presidential campaign on Friday, but his name will likely remain on the ballot in some states. Kennedy is reportedly aiming to become secretary of health and human services if Trump is elected. Kennedy, who was once a prominent environmental lawyer, is a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement. Kennedy has endorsed Trump despite once calling him a “terrible president.”
