RFK Jr. bashes Harris after reports he tried to ask for a Cabinet post

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slammed Vice President Kamala Harris online after several outlets reported he sought a meeting to discuss a potential administration post, writing, "VP Harris's Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle."

Why it matters: Kennedy was once viewed as a potential spoiler in the Biden-Trump race, but recent polling shows the third-party candidate losing footing in the Harris-Trump contest.

Driving the news: Kennedy reportedly sought a discussion through intermediaries about endorsing Harris in exchange for a role in the administration, but Harris and her advisers did not offer a meeting time or express interest, the Washington Post wrote.
