Trump Names Kennedy and Gabbard to Transition Team

Former President Donald Trump has appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard as honorary co-chairs of his presidential transition team, following their endorsements of him after Kennedy suspended his independent campaign. Kennedy confirmed his role in a recent interview, stating he would assist in selecting personnel for a potential second Trump administration and collaborate on policy issues. This shift marks a significant turnaround, as just a few months prior, Trump had criticized Kennedy as being too liberal. Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman, joins Kennedy and other notable figures, including Trump's sons, in this advisory capacity. Both Kennedy and Gabbard's endorsements signal a strategic consolidation of support aimed at galvanizing Trump's base ahead of the election. The transition team is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the policies of a prospective Trump administration.
