And on Tuesday, Trump told CNN that he would be open to Kennedy joining his administration if elected. Asked if he’d consider putting him in the administration if Kennedy backed him and he won, Trump said, “I probably would.” He added, “I like him a lot. I respect him a lot.”
On Tuesday, Kennedy’s running mate Nicole Shanahan revealed they were entertaining the idea of dropping out and joining forces with Trump.
