Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended the “MAGA” movement and teased more additions to the “unity government” he looks to join under former President Trump on Sunday.
Kennedy offered his own definition of MAGA in a post on X, arguing Democrats have misinterpreted the movement as regressive. The former presidential candidate dropped out and endorsed Trump on Friday in a major shake-up to the race.
“‘Make America Great Again’ recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes,” Kennedy wrote.
“It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world’s most vibrant middle class, and a [sic] idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore,” he continued.

Pollsters within Trump’s campaign say they are already seeing Kennedy’s supporters breaking toward the former president. Polls prior to Kennedy’s withdrawal indicated that he was polling at 5% or 6% support in key swing states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Kennedy said he has spoken to Trump at length about forming a “unity government” to focus on the issues he centered his campaign on, such as ending the war in Ukraine, ending media censorship and improving children’s health.
