The endorsement of former President Donald Trump by RFK Jr. could be what is needed to take back the White House for Republicans, and it is Democrats that could do it.

Republican vice presidential candidate and Ohio Sen. JD Vance spoke to “Meet The Press” anchor Kristen Welker about why some of those Democrats are more comfortable with the Republican Party.

“Do you have any hesitation about accepting his endorsement?” the anchor said t the senator.

“No, Kristen, I don’t. Because we’re going to disagree on issues, right? There are things that Robert Kennedy has said that I disagree with. I’m sure there are things that he’s said – or that I’ve said, excuse me – that he’s going to disagree with. But I think what his endorsement represents is that Donald J. Trump’s Republican Party is a big tent party. I was raised by two grandparents who were sort of classic Blue Dog Democrats. They believed in having a border, they believed that, you know, you shouldn’t have censorship in the United States of America. They believed in common sense economic policies. They may have disagreed with Donald Trump about tax policy, but they believed in some fundamental American values. And I think what RFK’s endorsement really shows is that the Kennedy Democrats are actually more at home in the Republican Party of Donald Trump. And unfortunately, Kamala Harris’ party, higher prices, doing nothing to fight back against the Chinese, to say nothing of a wide open border, that is not JFK’s Democratic Party, it’s not RFK’s Democratic Party. We’re thrilled to have the Kennedy Democrats where they belong,” the vice presidential candidate said.

“Well, and some of the Kennedy family have stepped forward to say that they sharply disagree with this endorsement. But let’s just go back very quickly. He says he isn’t taking sides on 9/11. Do you agree with that statement?” the anchor said.

“Well, of course I don’t agree with that, Kristen. Now, to be clear, I don’t know what RFK actually said there. Maybe there was additional context. Of course, you actually have to see what people say before you agree or disagree with it. I certainly have taken sides in 9/11. I’m the pro-America side. I don’t think that we should’ve been attacked, and I certainly think hitting back against the terrorists was justified. I don’t know what RFK said there,” the senator said.

“But what I do know that is that RFK said a lot of very interesting and important things – that the Democratic Party has become too pro-censorship. That the Democratic Party, especially in the wake of Covid, became really anti-freedom and anti-child. I mean, you had Democrats saying that we should be masking toddlers in their schools, even though we knew it caused developmental disabilities. I agree with RFK that that was crazy,” he said.
