When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential campaign and backed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in August, he told The Epoch Times that it was a “heart-wrenching decision” and a necessary step toward achieving his mission of saving Americans from what he calls “the chronic disease epidemic.”

Now, Trump is president-elect, and he has said that he would offer Kennedy a position in his administration where the Children’s Health Defense founder could “focus on health.”
