A senior advisor for Donald Trump's presidential campaign has said the stories about RFK Jr. joining the ticket as VP are not true. Several stories came out before this that suggested someone from Trump's inner-circle reached out to RFK Jr. to be VP, but the actual Trump campaign advisor denies it, saying it was 'fake news,' according to NY Post. Their trending politics news report said the following:

Senior Trump adviser Chris LaCivita refuted that the campaign had ever reached out to Kennedy and closed the door on doing so in the future to be VP.

“This is 100% FAKE NEWS – NO ONE from the Trump Campaign ever approached RFK jr (or ever will) – one of the most LIBERAL and radical environmentalists in the country. For all the fake news- update your stories,” LaCivita posed on X Saturday.

Earlier that day, The Post reported that individuals close to Trump had reached out to Kennedy, who is now running as an independent candidate for president.

“Trump operatives expressed an interest in Kennedy early on, but it was all premature,” one person familiar with the matter, told The Post, stressing it was “right out of the box when Bobby announced.”
