Chris Cuomo Questions Whether Trump Will Give RFK Jr. ‘A Real Position’ If He Is Elected

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on the “PBD Podcast” Thursday questioned whether former President Donald Trump would give independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “a real position” if elected for a second term this November.

After suspending his campaign in multiple states last week, Kennedy has since thrown his support behind the former president and vocalized he would be “actively” campaigning for Trump. Although there have been speculations about Kennedy potentially receiving a role in Trump’s second term, Cuomo dismissed the idea, stating he didn’t believe Kennedy could get “past Congress” if given a “real appointment.” (RELATED: RFK Jr. Loses Secret Service Protection, Agency Confirms)

“I don’t know where Bobby’s confidence is coming from that Trump will deliver on giving him a real position. Two reasons — one I think that was said the first time Trump ran. That he would put Bobby in and didn’t. The second reason is if it’s a real appointment like an agency level appointment I don’t know that Bobby gets past Congress,” Cuomo said.
