The online feud between independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former President Donald Trump’s Republican campaign escalated when Kennedy alleged that Trump had approached him to be his potential vice presidential running mate, a claim vehemently denied by a senior Trump campaign adviser.
This controversy emerged after Trump posted unsettling videos of Kennedy on his social media platform Truth Social.

“RFK Jr., as you know, is the most radical left candidate in the race,” Trump said in the video posted in March. “But he’s got some nice things about him, I happen to like him. Unfortunately, he is about the Green New Scam [Green New Deal] … [he wants to] waste money doing something that nobody wants and everybody knows doesn’t work. Kennedy is a radical left Democrat and always will be … It’s great for MAGA, I hope he continues to run … But expect him to be indicted any day now, probably for environmental fraud.”

Meanwhile, in another video posted earlier this month, Trump accused Kennedy of being “about the ‘Green New Scam’ because he believes in that and a lot of people don’t.”

“I guess that would mean RFK Jr.’s going to be taking away votes from crooked Joe Biden, and he should because he’s actually better than Biden. He’s much better than Biden. If I were a Democrat, I’d vote for RFK Jr. every single time over Biden,” Trump said in the video.

Subsequently, Stefanie Spear, the press secretary for the Kennedy campaign, sent an email to Newsweek in response to the video.
“If ‘radical’ means protecting our constitutional rights, especially freedom of speech, ending the war machine, growing small businesses, rebuilding the middle class and reducing the national debt, then we are proudly ‘radical’ as Trump described,” Spear wrote.
Kennedy also shared a response to the video on his verified X account on April 15. In his statement, he alleged that representatives of Trump approached him with an offer to be his vice presidential running mate.
“President Trump calls me an ultra-left radical. I’m so liberal that his emissaries asked me to be his VP. I respectfully declined the offer,” Kennedy wrote. “I am against President Trump, and President Biden can’t win. Judging by his new website, it looks like President Trump knows who actually can beat him.”
Nevertheless, Chris LaCivita, a senior adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign, restated earlier denials and confirmed that Kennedy would not be considered for the position.
“Re-upping this from January … was true then and it’s true now, your [sic] a leftie Loonie that would never be approached to be on the ticket… sorry!”
The recent communications between the Kennedy and Trump campaigns have highlighted a notable change in attitude and viewpoint, especially in relation to policy matters. Kennedy criticized both Biden and Trump on March 26 for their handling of economic policies amid the pandemic. He accused them of closing businesses without proper procedures and worsening economic disparities, cautioning against perpetuating such governance.
“If we vote for either of them again, we can expect and we will deserve more of the same.”
