The crazy Trump-Kennedy pairing fascinates US voters

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. garners unusual bipartisan support in the race for the White House, the wild idea arises that he should be former President Donald Trump's running mate. This results from a set of interviews made by the media to supporters of

"They would make an unstoppable duo," New Hampshire Republican and Libertarian Carla Gericke told The Epoch Times. "I think it's literally the ticket to bringing this fractured country together."

Texan real estate agent Trisha Psencik Hope told The Epoch Times that while she is “Trump all the way,” regardless of who her running mate is, her top pick is RFK Jr. largely because of his strong stance. against the obligation of the COVID vaccine.

Trump supporters appreciate the tough and skeptical stance that Robert Kennedy Junior has had against the covid vaccine and against the measures taken during that period, while Trump found himself having a much less precise position.

Kennedy told NewsMax on July 6 that he would not consider being a part of Trump's or [Joe] Biden's campaign ticket, but the prospect of a Kennedy/Trump ticket remains a hot topic on social media and even among high-profile politicians and could reveal how America will vote next November.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon suggested a Trump/Kennedy pairing as early as April.

In early July, the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), was asked former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who saw himself as a vice presidential candidate for Trump, about his thoughts on the idea.

While not directly answering the question, Ms. Lake called Kennedy a good man who did extraordinary things and criticized people who referred to Kennedy as a "MAGA Democrat."

“They don't want outsiders in the political machine, they don't want outsiders walking into the swamp to drain it,” Ms. Lake said, “they just want pre-approved, controllable, easily blackmailed, bribeable people like Biden and the whole swamp system.”

Bannon said Ms. Lake is her preferred pick for Trump's vice presidency, but said on her War Room show that if she weren't available "Kennedy would be an excellent choice."

Others, like Connecticut resident Libby DePiero, who has attended 41 Trump rallies since he first ran for president in 2016, told The Epoch Times it would be a “dream come true” if Kennedy and Trump ran together. .

“Between Kennedy's fight for medical freedom against the COVID [sic] tyrants, and Trump's proven track record of making Americans first in their country, it would be an even better presidency than Trump's first time,” he said.

Several proponents of the idea have launched social media polls asking the question.

Participants like New York Times bestselling author and ACT for America founder Brigitte Gabriel said “a 2024 Trump-Kennedy ticket would end Biden's reelection chances!”

The two candidates are very different, but they are both perceived as anti-system candidates, therefore, despite coming from opposite political families, as similar. Obviously this is a very strange idea: first of all, neither of the two would now agree to discuss the issue, at a time when we are still fighting for the primaries. Then the coming almost opposite zones.

However, the Trump-Kennedy ticket would be a certain novelty for the US political world. Sometimes it takes a little madness.
