Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has ruled out Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a potential running mate, although he would consider the Democratic presidential hopeful for a health position in his administration if elected president.

In an interview with Clay Travis on OutKick on July 26, Mr. DeSantis said he and Mr. Kennedy shared the same views on Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The two also agreed “100 percent” on the “corruption in the health bureaucracies,” the governor added.
