RFK Jr. denies 2028 presidential run rumors

Investing.com -- U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. firmly denied rumors about a potential 2028 presidential run on Friday.

Kennedy took to social media platform X to address what he called a "flat-out lie" being circulated about his political ambitions.

"DC lobby shops are laboring fiercely to drive a wedge between President Trump and me," Kennedy wrote. "They’re pushing the flat-out lie that I’m running for president in 2028. Let me be clear: I am not running for president in 2028."

The current HHS secretary previously campaigned as an independent presidential candidate in the 2024 election, before ending his bid on August 23, 2024, and endorsing Trump.

In his Friday social media post, Kennedy also expressed his commitment to his current role, stating: "The president has made himself the answer to my 20-year prayer that God would put me in a position to end the chronic disease epidemic — and that’s exactly what my team and I will do until the day he leaves office."
