Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said there is no guarantee that he would work in a Trump administration after suspending his independent presidential campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump.
When asked by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream if a Cabinet position has been negotiated between himself and Mr. Trump, Mr. Kennedy said “there’s been no commitments.”
“But, you know, I met with President Trump, with his family, with his closest advisers, and we just made a general commitment that we are going to work together,” Mr. Kennedy said Sunday.
Mr. Kennedy dropped out of the presidential race Friday and endorsed Mr. Trump. Hours later, he joined Mr. Trump onstage at an Arizona rally, where he talked about why he left the Democratic Party.
Ms. Bream asked Mr. Kennedy about a possible health-related Cabinet position and about reports saying he would dismantle health agencies.
“No, I wouldn’t dismantle them. I would change the focus and I would end the corruption,” he said.
“We need to end those perverse incentives,” Mr. Kennedy said. “We need to get the corruption out of the FDA [Food and Drug Administration], out of the NIH [National Institutes of Health] and the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], and make them function as they’re supposed to function, which is to protect public health and particularly children’s health.”
