Donald Trump appeared on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight” and answered questions about Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Schmitt asked Trump his thoughts on RFK Jr. running as a third party candidate and how that would impact the presidential election.
“If he runs though as a third party candidate, what do you think that does in this next election?” Schmitt asked Trump.
“I don’t know but he’s got great support in the party. He’s got, in the Democrat Party, he’s got 20 percent. I saw a poll today 23 percent of the vote. That’s a lot of vote. And so, I don’t know. Would he run as an Independent? He’d get a lot of votes, I can tell you,” Trump responded.
“A lot of people like you and him as a combination too. I don’t think that could happen, but have you ever thought about that? Trump-Kennedy looks good on a bumper sticker,” Schmitt said.
“No, but people have suggested it. I read the same things that you do. There are a lot of people suggesting it. There’s no question about that. I’ve known him over the years. He’s a smart guy and well intentioned. I really believe he’s very well intentioned,” Trump said.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen RFK Jr. floated as Trump’s potential running mate.
Steve Bannon said a Trump-RFK Jr. unity ticket would be ‘unbeatable’ in the election.

Roger Stone also suggested a Trump-RFK Jr. unity ticket.
Although RFK Jr. said he wouldn't be Trump's running mate, the two candidates have spoken nicely about each other.
