Quote:
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might have an offer to run a federal agency in 2025 — but not for the party he is running to gain the nomination from.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is struggling to gain steam in the GOP primary, mused on Wednesday in an interview with Clay Travis on OutKick that he generally aligns with Kennedy’s conservative views on Covid-19 policies and vaccines. Those views, DeSantis indicated, could make him a pick to lead a federal agency with medical jurisdiction.

“If you’re president, sic him on the FDA if he’d be willing to serve. Or sic him on CDC,” DeSantis said, in response to a question about whether he would pick Kennedy as a running mate. “In terms of being veep, if there’s 70 percent of the issues that he may be averse to our base on, that just creates an issue.”

Obviously a sweetener to stop RFK running and taking the vote

He chose something closer to his heart as bait.

It may work too as I’m sure RFK knows with his voice and shallow US voters he’ll never win the presidency

RFK running the cdc will be like a fox running the hen house

It’s a serious matter as it’s obvious Biden is too old for a second term and Harris is possibly unsuitable

Who will take over
