Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday defended the “MAGA” movement and hinted at more members joining a “unity government” he plans to join under former President Trump.
Kennedy, in a post on X, offered his own definition of MAGA and argued that Democrats misinterpret the MAGA movement as regressive. The former presidential candidate dropped out of the race on Friday to endorse Trump, sparking a major shift in the race.
“Make America Great Again evokes a nation full of energy and enthusiasm, hope and faith — an America that was beginning to confront its dark side, acknowledging injustices past and present, while also celebrating its successes,” Kennedy wrote.
“America was a country with widespread prosperity, the world's most vibrant middle class, and an idealistic belief in freedom, justice and democracy (if not consistently lived up to it). We led the world in innovation, productivity and technology. And we were the healthiest country in the world. I've spoken to many of Trump's supporters. I've spoken to his aides. I've spoken to Trump himself. This is the America they want to restore,” he continued.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blasted the “mainstream media aligned with the Democratic National Committee” and accused them of orchestrating Harris' rise.
Trump campaign pollsters believe Kennedy's supporters are already drifting to him: Before he dropped out, he had polls showing him at 5% to 6% in key battleground states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Kennedy said he had spoken at length with Trump about forming a “unity government” that would focus on core campaign issues, including ending the war in Ukraine, ending media censorship and improving children's health.

“This is just the beginning. Stay tuned to see who joins President Trump's united government next,” he wrote to X.

Kennedy said the DNC has “waged an ongoing legal battle” against both him and Trump. He also accused the DNC of running a “sham primary” to thwart a serious challenge to President Biden for the Democratic nomination. Kennedy then withdrew from the race in July and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
