Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to arrange a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to secure a place in her administration or a cabinet post in exchange for an endorsement, according to multiple reports.

The Washington Post first reported that Kennedy made the overture through intermediaries, just weeks after he proposed as similar arrangement to former President Donald Trump after the Republican National Convention last month. The pair spoke about the plan, but did not reach an agreement on the matter.

Harris has not responded with an offer to meet and her campaign has expressed no interest to do so, the Post added.

    I agree 100%. However, think about what would happen in the political arena if he were given a position in exchange for endorsing kamala. We all know that many right wingers who don’t like trump are RFKs primary supporters. Him supporting kamala would throw this group into a tailspin.

    It ain’t gonna happen, just sayin’ it would be very interesting to watch. A big worry would be his supporters getting pissed and then swinging towards trump.

    Still, I’d love to see it for the lulz.
