Joe Rogan kicked up a storm earlier this year when he said that he found Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the most ‘reasonable’ candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election. That, of course, was back when RFK was still running for President as an independent candidate. Now, however, Kennedy has officially dropped out and endorsed Donald Trump in the race.

This, of course, means that the former environmental lawyer will probably get a cabinet position in a second Trump Administration if the Republican candidate manages to win in November. Joe Rogan, who has had RFK on his podcast previously, is a huge fan of the Washington DC native and especially his advocacy and legal battles against corporations over public health and environmental issues. Since Rogan is one of the most influential people in America, his endorsement is a big deal, leading to RFK taking to his Instagram account to share one of Rogan’s clips, praising him and his advocacy with guest Shawn Ryan.

In the caption of that post, Kennedy vowed to come through on the promises he had made. “Thanks @joerogan @shawnryan762 … With a mass movement behind us, @realdonaldtrump and I will transform our food system. We will get the chemicals out of the water, air, food, and soil. We will drain the corruption out of the agencies that are supposed to protect the public. By 2028, I promise you, we will Make America Healthy Again,” Kennedy wrote.

One of Kennedy’s central planks for his erstwhile Presidential campaign was MAHA- Make America Healthy Again. The former lawyer has spoken at length about how he thinks corporations have gotten away with putting unhealthy chemicals in food and feels these lead to chronic health issues in Americans. And the reason he thinks that the corporations can get away with this is because the regulatory agencies not doing their job. In fact, RFK thinks these agencies have been ‘captured’ by these corporations, who have managed to hold too much sway over them. Previously as President, and now as part of a potential Trump cabinet, one of the first things RFK has vowed to do is to address these issues.

Judge denies Rober F. Kennedy Jr.’s request to be stuck off Wisconsin ballot

Robert F. Kennedy, of course, is doing everything he can to get Donald Trump elected. However, Kennedy’s name would appear on the ballot in the key swing state of Wisconsin on election day. A Wisconsin judge has thrown out a request by the Kennedy campaign to have his name removed from the ballot, which would undoubtedly hurt the Trump campaign there.

This was because the law requires any third-party candidates to get their name removed before August 6, which RFK failed to do. While Joe Biden won the state the last time around, he did so with only a razor-thin 21,000 margin. And as Harris is already polling higher than Trump in the state, any chances of the former President winning the state may have been sunk by Kennedy’s name remaining on the ballot.
