Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said over the weekend that he will be campaigning for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the days and weeks to come and that he expects that more Democrats will soon be joining Trump’s campaign.

RFK Jr. made the remarks during a Sunday interview on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream after he announced last week that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump for president.

“I’m going to be campaigning actively,” he said. “I think President Trump is going to make a series of announcements about other Democrats who are joining his campaign, and you know, I want to make America healthy again, and so does President Trump. So those are objectives.”

He fired back at criticism that he received from The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board over the weekend, after Trump signaled he would work with RFK Jr. if he regains the White House this fall.

“The Wall Street Journal may be worried about shareholder value for pharmaceutical companies,” RFK Jr. said. “And I think, you know, I talked specifically to President Trump about that issue, and he said that he wanted to leave, as his legacy, healthy children, and that, you know, that he was unconcerned about the other implications.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to attacks that he has faced for launching a presidential bid to challenge President Joe Biden and his subsequent decision to drop out of the race and endorse Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“My family is at the center of the Democratic Party,” RFK Jr. said during an interview on Sunday. “I have five members of my family that are working for the Biden administration. President Biden has a bust of my father behind him at the Oval Office. He’s been a family friend for many, many years.”

He said that he understands that his family is “troubled by my decisions” but that he still loves them.

“We were raised in a milieu where we were encouraged to debate each other and debate ferociously and passionately about things, but just still love each other,” he said. “They’re free to take their positions on these issues. There are many, many members of my family who are working in my campaign, who are supporting me. I have a very big family. There’s a few of them that are troubled, but you know, I think we all need to be able to disagree with each other and still love each other.”

Kennedy’s remarks come after a statement was released by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Courtney Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Chris Kennedy and Rory Kennedy on Friday, criticizing RFK Jr. for endorsing Trump.

Former Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) shared the post on social media, writing: “well said.”

“We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise, and national pride,” the family said in a statement. “We believe in Harris and Walz.”

“Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear,” they claimed. “It is a sad ending to a sad story.”
