Democrats like to talk a big game about unifying the country, but like a poor marksman, they just keep missing the target. Oh, they have their tame Republicans, like former Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, but for the most part, they just don’t seem to understand the concept of “unity.”
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has not only received endorsements – I would characterize them both as enthusiastic endorsements – from two former Democratic presidential candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. Now we learn that Trump has added them both to his transition team:
Former President Trump has tapped Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) to his transition team, bringing both aboard in formal roles on the heels of their endorsements.
“As President Trump’s broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across partisan lines, we are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team,” senior campaign adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement. “We look forward to having their powerful voices on the team as we work to restore America’s greatness.”
Kennedy confirmed his role when speaking to Tucker Carlson:
“I’ve been asked to go on to the transition team, you know, to help pick the people who will be running the government, and I’m looking forward to that,” Kennedy said.
This is an interesting move, indeed. Former President Trump is building, if not exactly a unity ticket, then certainly a unity team. And that may play a major part in how things turn out in November.
