Trump adds RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to transition team

Former President Trump is adding Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, both former Democratic presidential candidates, to his presidential transition team. Both recently endorsed Trump, with Kennedy joining the team after suspending his own presidential campaign. Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes confirmed their inclusion, emphasizing the expansion of Trump's support across party lines. The New York Times initially reported on this development. Kennedy, who has stated his commitment to getting Trump elected, expressed his enthusiasm about joining the team. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, also endorsed Trump on Monday. This move comes after Trump named Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick as co-chairs of his transition team, with his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump serving as honorary chairs. These additions highlight Trump's efforts to assemble a team for a potential second term.
