Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday defended the “MAGA” movement and hinted at more members joining a “unity government” he plans to join under former President Trump.
Kennedy, in a post on X, offered his own definition of MAGA and argued that Democrats misinterpret the MAGA movement as regressive. The former presidential candidate dropped out of the race on Friday to endorse Trump, sparking a major shift in the race.
“Make America Great Again evokes a nation full of energy and enthusiasm, hope and faith — an America that was beginning to confront its dark shadows, acknowledging injustices past and present, while also celebrating its successes,” Kennedy wrote.
“It’s about widespread prosperity and the most vibrant middle class in the world, [sic] “America had idealistic beliefs (if not consistently applied) in liberty, justice and democracy. America led the world in innovation, productivity and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I’ve spoken to many of Trump’s supporters. I’ve spoken to his aides. I’ve spoken to Trump himself. This is the America they want to restore,” he continued.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blasted the “mainstream media aligned with the Democratic National Committee” and accused them of orchestrating Harris’ rise.
Trump pollsters believe Kennedy’s supporters are already drifting to him: Before he dropped out, he had polls showing him at 5% to 6% in key battleground states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Kennedy said he had spoken at length with Trump about forming a “unity government” that would focus on core campaign issues, including ending the war in Ukraine, ending media censorship and improving children’s health.
