Trump Adds RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard To His Transition Team

/in , , , , , /by

Former President Donald Trump has added former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be part of his transition team after they both recently endorsed his bid for the presidency.

“As President Trump’s broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across partisan lines, we are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team. We look forward to having their powerful voices on the team was we work to restore America’s greatness,” Trump senior adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement obtained by the Daily Caller.

Kennedy, who was running as an Independent, suspended his campaign Friday and endorsed Trump. Just days after, Gabbard, who has reportedly been helping Trump with debate preparation, also endorsed Trump, saying Monday that she believes Trump is the best person to keep us out of wars.

“He keeps us in his heart in the decisions that he makes. We saw this through his first term in the presidency, when he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to deescalate and prevent wars,” Gabbard said.

The former congresswoman compared Trump’s record on foreign conflict to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, arguing that their administration had brought the country closer to war. She added that she was “confident” Trump would “do the work to walk us back from the brink of war.”

Kennedy first told Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson about being asked to help with Trump’s transition team, saying they were discussing it.

“I’m going to work to get him elected,” Kennedy said to Carlson. “And I’m working with the campaign. We’re working on policy issues together. I’ve been asked to go onto the transition team and to help pick the people who will be running the government.”

Also serving on Trump’s transition team are his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as the former administrator of the Small Business Administration Linda McMahon, businessman Howard Lutnick and Ohio Republican Sen. and Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance.

“The 2024 GOP Platform to Make America Great Again is a forward-looking agenda that will deliver safety, prosperity and freedom for the American people. My administration will deliver on these bold promises,” Trump said in a statement. “We will restore strength, competence and common sense to the Oval Office. I have absolute confidence the Trump-Vance Administration will be ready to govern effectively on Day One.”

A source close to Trump told the Daily Caller that Kennedy will “definitely be on the campaign trail and doing media” ahead of the election.

RFK Jr. Comes Out Against Gaza Ceasefire

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. strongly questioned the wisdom of a ceasefire in Gaza during an interview with Reuters on Wednesday.

“I don’t even know what that means right now,” Kennedy, who is running as an independent, told Reuters in response to a question about a temporary ceasefire.

Kennedy argued that Hamas had used every previous ceasefire to merely “rebuild and then launch another surprise attack,” the outlet noted.

“So what would be different this time?” Kennedy asked Reuters.

Kennedy argued that Israel had not chosen to fight the current war and blamed Hamas for rejecting a two-state solution and for its history of aggression.

“Any other nation that was adjacent to a neighboring nation that was bombing it with rockets, sending commandos over to murder its citizens, pledging itself to murder every person in that nation and annihilate it, would go and level it with aerial bombardment,” he said. “But Israel is a moral nation. So it didn’t do that. Instead, it built an Iron Dome to protect itself so it would not have to go into Gaza.”

Kennedy told Reuters that the Oct. 7 attack — which killed over 1,200 people and left some 250 as Hamas hostages — left Israel with no other option but to invade Gaza.

“[T]he scale of these attacks means it is likely that Israel will need to wage a sustained military campaign to protect its citizens,” Kennedy tweeted the day of the terrorist attack. “Statements of support are fine, but we must follow through with unwavering, resolute, and practical action. America must stand by our ally throughout this operation and beyond as it exercises its sovereign right to self-defense.”

Kennedy’s rejection of a ceasefire with Hamas puts the ex-Democrat at odds with an increasing number of prominent politicians in his former party.

A group of House Democrats, including Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush, introduced a ceasefire resolution on Oct. 16, 2023; Democratic Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley wrote an article backing a ceasefire on Nov. 20; and Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed an “immediate ceasefire” on March 3.
