Former President Trump has appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to his transition team following their endorsements.
Senior campaign adviser Brian Hughes highlighted the inclusion of Kennedy and Gabbard in the Trump/Vance Transition team, noting their contributions as Trump seeks to rally support across party lines.
Kennedy, who recently endorsed Trump after suspending his independent presidential bid, had hinted at his new role in an interview with Tucker Carlson. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022 and has been active in conservative media, also endorsed Trump and is assisting in preparations for an upcoming debate.
Earlier this month, Trump revealed the leadership of his transition team, which will focus on personnel and policy planning in the event of a victory.
The team is led by top Trump donors Linda McMahon, former head of the Small Business Administration, and Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, with Sen. JD Vance, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. serving as honorary chairs.
