If RFK reached out to both campaigns, then that just shows he can be bought and paid for

[EvelynAbraham-vd]

Robert Kennedy does not deserve a cabinet position.

[rberry]

CBS is much easier for me to watch. ABC tells you the stories several times before they tell the story. By the time you hear the last story you've heard it 10 times.

[ivanjones]

It's so funny how Trump so eloquently describes him self while trying to describe others.

[bretthaines]

RFK is cringe and grasping for relevancy... he'd fit the GOP perfectly 👌

[karenbarkman]

Shame on companies that make baby food. Where's Congress in making regulations for baby food? Just what does Congress do these days?

[koalasez]

Love David!!
Baby food issues - parents, get yourselves a good blender and make your own baby food. There are all kinds of channels showing how to do it - veggies, fruits, desserts, and yes, meat. Know what goes into their food! 👶

[bigjpbz]

Never a good word about Trump because there is nothing positive to report. That man is insane!

[jeffreysmith]

Trump is probably promising RFKjr the Secretary of Education….. which he will terminate on day one.

[criticaltheories]

Never a good word about Trump or a Republican.
Never a bad word about a Democrat. Welcome to ABC News.

[teresamcarthur]

Somebody needs to explain to Trump what “being nice to somebody“ actually means. He came out stating he was going to go after everybody and has the right to be mean and nasty.. I am shocked that he would choose to behave like this in public. He doesn’t understand the difference between informing people of the good things he believes he can do and his choosing to be a hateful, divisive, and nasty person.

[laurahoward]

Poor RFK, JR, can never live up to his Dad

[marvwatkins]

RFK, Jr would shame his dad. He is weird and contemptible. And sounds strange.

[virtualwhispers]

Kennedy should have known better than to ask to join the Democrat campaign - He turned his back on his family legacy - I know his earlier family are twirling in their graves of the way he turned out! - He must think Harris and Walz are stupid! - Crawl on over to Trump, where you belong - You're both going down! - At least you both will have company!

[xlgjmlg]

When did democracy become no right to vote with a dictator and office? What the hell

[BryanChristiansen]

Harris in 2024. Does anyone REALLY think Trump is a viable option!? 😂😂

[koalasez]

45 tries to be nice? 🤣🤣🤣. 45 gets nasty personal with his bullying name calling.

[nomimims]

David is absolute perfection! ❤ Just a real man! 😊

Yesterday, KAMALA said, the high food prices are the result of price gouging by the big grocery stores 💙. Today WALMART announced it is lowering prices on 7000 items including groceries!!

[stevekrewson]

RFK has no business in any American political position.
