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.
Robert Evans just did a 4 part series on RFK Jr. and it is fascinating. Links below (on spotify because that’s what I’ve got, sorry)

I highly recommend the Behind the Bastards podcast overall. It’s a great way to get your heart rate and blood pressure up to really enhance your cardio workouts or stay awake on long road trips. You will be intensely angry at everything, but it helps. :)
The podcast that radicalized me
I found the first series of It Could Happen Here first, then I realized I’d been reading him since Cracked and then I was radicalized by Robert
Exactly why I have to take it in bursts. Even Knowledge Fight makes me (usually) less depressed/angry in general (though Alex can really piss me off, but he’s also fucking stupid and I can at least laugh at him more often), so BtB is the hardest to consistently listen to for me. Not because it isn’t good, but because well, the eponymous bastards earn that title.
The RFK episodes aren’t depressing for the most part. They are just really funny besides some of the shitty things RFK does that gets people killed…
The excitement is always tempered with anxiety whenever a new btb series pops up in my feed…
Even Robert was taken aback by some of that shit, Cody sounded broken at the end, I need to check the Showdy and see if he pulled himself Back out of it
