Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently attempted to secure a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss potential roles in her administration, should she win the presidency.
According to Kennedy campaign officials, the meeting was sought last week with the aim of exploring Cabinet secretary positions in exchange for Kennedy’s support of Harris’s campaign.
This move comes as Kennedy, who initially ran as a Democrat, has been positioning himself as an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential race. His campaign has been marked by controversy, particularly due to his stance on vaccines and other public health issues.

Strategic Shift in Kennedy’s Campaign
The attempt to meet with Harris suggests a strategic shift in Kennedy’s campaign approach. By seeking a position in a potential Harris administration, Kennedy may be acknowledging the challenges of his independent bid while exploring alternative paths to influence national policy.
“Kennedy’s team reached out to discuss a potential meeting,” a source close to the campaign revealed, speaking on condition of anonymity. However, it remains unclear whether the Harris team responded to this overture or if any meeting is planned.
This development occurs against the backdrop of a complex political landscape, with both major parties gearing up for a highly contested election. Kennedy’s independent candidacy has been seen by some as a potential spoiler, particularly for the Democratic ticket.
As the election season progresses, it will be interesting to see how this attempted negotiation impacts Kennedy’s campaign strategy and his relationship with both major parties. The outcome could have significant implications for the overall dynamics of the 2024 presidential race.
