Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to arrange a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to secure a place in her administration or a cabinet post in exchange for an endorsement, according to multiple reports.

The Washington Post first reported that Kennedy made the overture through intermediaries, just weeks after he proposed as similar arrangement to former President Donald Trump after the Republican National Convention last month. The pair spoke about the plan, but did not reach an agreement on the matter.

Harris has not responded with an offer to meet and her campaign has expressed no interest to do so, the Post added.

    I love your post!

    I agree, it’s very cut and dry what’s going on with this topic. I haven’t seen a single person yet chime in about Gaza who followed up with a sincere conversation about it, though. Just jabs, snark, and mud slinging.

    I think the kindest interpretation is that they’re not thinking it through and they don’t want to. The least kind is that they’re insincere and looking for any way to start an argument.

      Thank you. I’m fairly certain I won’t convince the individual I’m debating with, but I do hope others will read and maybe they’ll start looking closer at the issues and learn more about them.

      Yes you’re right Democrats complaining about Gaza are stupid morons. Definitely should be Kamala’s talking points to help win.

        Kamala has already indicated she is opposed to continued support of Israel. She does not appear to be sucking AIPAC’s baby dick the way Joe was.

          I guess your statement may be true… If you live in an alternate reality. You’re acting like she wasn’t just the VP for the last 4 years. She’s already said she supports continuing to arm Israel.
