Of all the chaos and weird aspects to this election cycle throughout, suffice it to say that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has certainly made a name for himself. The man running as a third party option has generated his fair share of headlines, not the least of which was saying he viewed Biden as more of a threat than Trump.

Maybe that’s why it’s a little more notable that he tried angling for a position in a potential Kamala Harris administration.

Rebecca Davis O’Brien and Reid J. Epstein with The New York Times write:

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate whose standing has dropped in the polls, sought a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss endorsing her in exchange for a promise of a cabinet post, according to two people briefed on the outreach who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations.

His effort has been unsuccessful. The news was first reported by The Washington Post.

“We’ve reached out repeatedly through the highest level intermediaries,” Mr. Kennedy wrote in a text message on Wednesday night. “We’ve been told that they have no interest in talking with me.”…”
